Tertiary Structure Flashcards
1
Q
Define tertiary structure
A
Proven chain has further folded to form a coiled 3D structure
2
Q
What bonds are involved with the tertiary structure
A
Hydrogen bonds
Ionic bonds
Disulphide bonds
3
Q
Where do hydrogen bonds form
A
Between polar r groups
4
Q
What is the function of the hydrogen bond s
A
Weak bonds it there are a lots of them which give the structure stability
5
Q
