The coiling of the protein chain backbone into an alpha helix is referred to as?
The coiling of the protein chain backbone into an alpha helix is referred to as the secondary structure. It is composed of several polypeptide chains.
What are the four stages of protein structures?
The four levels of protein structure are differentiated from each other by the complexity of their polypeptide chain. Proteins are constructed from 20 amino acids. The levels are the hydrogen atom, a Carboxyl group, an amino group and a variable or "R" group. They have a primary structure, the order in which the amino acids are linked to form a protein. Secondary structure , coiling and folding of the polypeptide chain. Tertiary structure, is a 3-D structure of a protein chain. Quaternary is the structure of a protein macro molecule formed by interactions between several polypeptide chains..
What structural level of a protein most affected by a disruption in hydrogen bonding?
The structural level of a protein is most affected by disruption would be the secondary structure. It is within the secondary structure where the folding and coiling of the protein is stabilized by hydrogen bonds.
What is the folding and coiling of a protein into a globular shape?
circle Some joker listed the above as an answer to the question. The question is poorly worded, but it likely is looking for tertiary structure as an answer.
If a protein contains three polypeptide chains that are held together by bonding forces what kind of structure does the protein have?
The protein has a quaternary structure.In addition, each polypeptide chain has a primary, secondary, and tertiary structure.The primary structure is the sequence of amino acids in a chain.The secondary structure is the next higher level of arrangement of a chain in space, for example coiling into a alpha-helix, shaping into a beta-pleated sheet, or forming into a turn or loop.Tertiary structure is a yet higher-level folding of the chain into its final three-dimensional shape.Some proteins have only one chain, but if there are two or more, the combination of these chains to form the functional protein is the quaternary structure.
Is hemoglobin a protein that exhibits the quaternary structure of protein folding?
The tertiary structure is the folding
What level of protein structure is represented by the coiling of the protein chain backbone into an alpha helix?
The coiling of the protein chain background into an alpha helix is the secondary structure. This is caused by the H-bonded arrangement of the backbone of th protein.
What is the coiling or sheetlike structure of a protein called?
It is called secondary structure of proteins .
What chain is sequences of amino acids that is the foundation for the basic structure of a protein?
polypeptide chain
Globular or fibrous polypeptide chains are what type of protein structure?
Tertiary structure.
What is the tertiary structure for a protein?
'The Quaternary structure of a protein is the 4th level of folding for a protein. An example of this would be a red blood cell, which is a quaternary structure, it is made up of alpha helicies and also beta pleated in the tertiary structure. The Quaternary structure of a protein contains 4 tertiary structures in it.
What is the level of protein structure that describes all aspects of the three-dimensional folding of a polypeptide?
Primary: Simple string of amino acids called a polypeptide. Secondary: The varied hydrogen bonding of the side chains resulting in alpha helixes and beta sheets. Tertirary: The R group bondingd; hydophobic, hydrophilic, hydrogen bonding and disulfide bonding, which results in the globular, actual protein. Quarternary: The construction of multi protein subunits from tertiary structure. Such as hemeglobin.
