    • The amino acid sequence is the primary structure.
    • Secondary structure refers to local folding patterns, such as alpha-helices or beta sheets.
    • Quaternary structure describes how multiple polypeptides interact with one another to form larger structures like oligomers or proteins composed of more than one subunit.
    • Tertiary structure involves interactions between different parts of the protein molecule, including hydrogen bonds, disulfide bridges, van der Waals forces, electrostatic interactions, and hydrophobic interactions.
    • Tertiary structure involves the three-dimensional arrangement of the entire protein molecule, including interactions between different parts of the same polypeptide chain.

    • Proteins are made up of chains of amino acids that can be folded into various structures.
    • Translation begins at the start codon (AUG) and continues until a stop codon (UAA/UAG/UGA).
    • Proteins are made up of chains of amino acids that can be folded into various structures.
    • Amino acids have an amine group (-NH2) at one end and a carboxyl group (-COOH) at the other end.

    • Translation begins at the start codon (AUG) and continues until a stop codon (UAA/UAG/UGA).
    • Proteins are made up of chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds.
    • Tertiary structure involves interactions between different parts of the protein molecule, including hydrogen bonds, disulfide bridges, van der Waals forces, electrostatic interactions, and hydrophobic interactions.
    • The quaternary structure is formed by the interaction of two or more polypeptide chains (subunits) that are held together by noncovalent interactions.
