Identify the following statements as descriptive of the secondary, tertiary, or quaternary structure of a protein. What types of interactions stabilize each type of structure?(a) The polypeptide chain has a number of bends and twists, resulting in a compact structure.(b) The polypeptide backbone forms a right-handed coil.(c) The four polypeptide chains are arranged in a spherical shape.
Our understanding of how proteins fold allows us to make predictions about protein structure based on primary amino acid sequence data. Consider the following amino acid sequence
:a)Where might bends or βturns occur?
b)Where might intrachain disulphide cross-linkages be formed?
c)Assuming that this sequence is part of a bigger globular protein, indicate the probable location (on the surface or interior of the protein) of the following amino acid residues: Asp, Ile, Thr, Ala, Gln and Lys. Explain your reasoning
Discuss and identify the four levels of protein structure (primary, secondary, tertiary,and quaternary). Explain how the structure of a protein affects its properties and howdenaturation changes the structure.

Which of the following statements about protein three-dimensional structure are correct? 1) the folding pattern of a protein is ultimately determined by its amino acid sequence. 2) proteins tend to fold in such a way that the hydrophobic amino acids are buried in the interior, while hydrophilic amino acids are exposed at the surface. 3) the chemical interactions within a protein molecule that support its overall folded structure are mostly covalent C-C (carbon to carbon) bonds between amino acid side-chains. 4) the overall folding pattern/shape of a protein molecule is termed its primary structure. 5) during evolution, the three-dimensional structure of a protein is often more strongly conserved than its amino acid sequence.
