Flashcards
Primary Structure
Primary Structure
The linear sequence of amino acids in a protein chain.
Secondary Structure
Secondary Structure
The local folding patterns of the polypeptide chain, stabilized by hydrogen bonds between backbone atoms.
Tertiary Structure
Tertiary Structure
The overall three-dimensional shape of a single polypeptide chain, formed by interactions between R-groups.
Quaternary Structure
