What are proteins? Describe the primary, secondary, tertiary and quarternary structures of protein in detail.
Proteins are macromolecules which consists of chain of amino acids.
Primary structures: this is the actual sequence of amino acid that make up the protein .
Secondary structures: these are primarily the hydrogen bonds between amino acids example include alpha helix or beta pleated sheets.
Tertiary structure: these are interaction caused by alpha helix and beta pleated sheets leading to folding of a polypeptide.
Quaternary structure: same of different polypeptide joins to form functional protein for example hemoglobin.
