Question

Differentiate between primary and secondary structure of protein

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The main difference between primary secondary and tertiary structure of protein is that the primary structure of a protein is linear and the secondary structure of a protein can be either an α-helix or β-sheet whereas tertiary structure of a protein is globular.  

Primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary are the four structures of proteins found in nature. The primary structure comprises the amino acid sequence. Hydrogen bonds formed between amino acids are responsible for the formation of the secondary structure of a protein while disulfide and salt bridges form the tertiary structure.
