Question

insulin has quaternary structure not secondary why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Insulin can form into granules consisting of hexamers (6 insulin molecules as described above, grouped around 2 zinc ions) due to interactions between hydrophobic surfaces.Insulin may also form into dimers (double units). However, the active form is a apparently a single unit (monomer).

Answer 2

#Quaternary structure#

▪Insulin can form into granules consisting of hexamers due to interactions between hydrophobic surfaces.

▪Insulin may also form into dimers.
