The final 3-dimensional structure of a globular protein is defined by several types of structural units. Rank the following structural units in function of their complexity, starting from the bigger and more complex and ending with the smaller and less complex structural unit: Alpha helices, domains, peptide bonds, oligomers, reverse turns

What happens (at a molecular level) when a protein is denatured?
Protein folding is critical for function because the properties of a protein arise from its overall shape and the distribution within that shape of the various amino acid side-chains. Which of the following statements about protein three-dimensional structure are correct? 1) the folding pattern of a protein is ultimately determined by its amino acid sequence. 2) proteins tend to fold in such a way that the hydrophobic amino acids are buried in the interior, while hydrophilic amino acids are exposed at the surface. 3) the chemical interactions within a protein molecule that support its overall folded structure are mostly covalent C-C (carbon to carbon) bonds between amino acid side-chains. 4) the overall folding pattern/shape of a protein molecule is termed its primary structure. 5) during evolution, the three-dimensional structure of a protein is often more strongly conserved than its amino acid sequence. More than one answer might be right
