Answer» Correct Answer - B The primary structure of proteins is the sequence of amino acids in a chain, i.e., the positional information in a protein. In the secondary structure protein thread is folded in the form of a helix or in the sheet form. The long protein chain is also folded upon itself like a hollow woollen ball, giving rise to the tertiary structure. This gives us a 3-dimensional view of a protein. Tertiary structure is absolutely necessary for many biological activities of proteins. |
