A protein's _______ structure contains helixes and sheets that result from hydrogen bonding between carboxyl and amino groups of the polypeptide chain.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The secondary structure of a protein is made up of helixes and sheets that result from hydrogen bonding between the carboxyl and amino groups of the polypeptide chain. The primary structure refers to the linear sequence of amino acids in the protein, the tertiary structure is the three-dimensional folded shape of the protein, and the quaternary structure refers to the arrangement of multiple protein subunits. Therefore, choice B, secondary structure, is the best choice.
