Secondary Structure

- results from hydrogen bonding between the backbone constituents of the polypeptides.
- alpha helix
- beta pleated sheet

Primary Structure


- The unique amino acid sequence of a polypeptide.

Tertiary Structure

- Results from interactions between side chains (R-groups) of amino acids.
- The overall shape of a polypeptide.

Quaternary Structure

- The aggregation of multiple polypeptide subunits.
