Concept explainers
a.
To determine:
The identification of the level of protein structure associated with the given statement. a. more than one polypeptide.
Introduction:
The structure of proteins are of four types that are primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structures. Each levels tells a different types of ineractions between amino acids in the protein. Together all these structures provides a complete three dimensional structure of a protein.
The protein structure depends on its amino acid sequence and the bonds between atoms in both the polypeptide backbone and in amino acid side chains.
b.
To determine:
The identification of the level of protein structure associated with the given statement. b. hydrogen bonding between backbone atoms.

c.
To determine:
