E) secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures, but not primary structure

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hydrogen bonds play a crucial role in stabilizing the secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures of proteins by contributing to the formation of alpha-helices and beta-sheets, and by facilitating the folding and interaction between different protein subunits. They do not stabilize the primary structure, which is determined by peptide bonds between amino acids.
