Tertiary and quaternary structures share all of the following properties except

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tertiary and quaternary structures both involve interactions between amino acid side chains, including disulfide bridges, hydrogen bonding, ionic interactions, and van der Waals interactions. The main difference between the two structures is the number of subunits involved. Tertiary structures refer to the three-dimensional structure of a single polypeptide chain, whereas quaternary structures refer to the arrangement of two or more polypeptide chains (subunits) in a protein complex. Therefore, B is the incorrect option since it is a property that is unique to quaternary structures.
