Which of the following non-covalent bonds is not involved in the tertiary structure formation of proteins?
A) Ionic bonds
B) Hydrogen bonds
C) Disulfide bridges
D) Hydrophobic interactions
E) Van der Waal interactions

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Disulfide bridges only play a role in the formation of the quaternary structure of proteins, which occurs when multiple polypeptide chains come together to form a functional protein complex. Ionic bonds, hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions, and van der Waal interactions all play important roles in the formation of the tertiary structure of proteins.
