Which of the following is a result of convoluted coiling and folding that grants protein its final three-dimensional shape?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tertiary structure is the result of convoluted coiling and folding that grants protein its final three-dimensional shape. Primary structure refers to the linear sequence of amino acids, while secondary structure refers to local folding patterns (e.g. alpha helices and beta sheets). Quaternary structure refers to the organization of multiple protein subunits. "Pentagonal" is not a valid answer choice as it does not relate to protein structure.
