  4. The interaction of the protein with other molecules

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the tertiary structure of a protein?
  • Step 1: Understand that proteins are made of smaller units called amino acids.
  • Step 2: Know that these amino acids are linked together in a chain, called a polypeptide chain.
  • Step 3: Realize that the polypeptide chain can fold into different shapes.
  • Step 4: The tertiary structure is the specific three-dimensional shape that the folded polypeptide chain takes.
  • Step 5: This shape is important because it determines how the protein functions in the body.
