Question

The tertiary structure of protein is governed mainly

Answer 1

Tertiary structure of a protein is governed or determined by the bonding interaction of the side chains of amino acids.

Tertiary structure is the structure of a protein in three dimensions.

Amino acids like random coils, alpha-helices are present in the secondary structure of a protein and they form the backbone of a protein since they are linked by peptide covalent bond.

Answer 2

The tertiary structure of protein is mainly governed by constituent amino acid residues.

It is the three dimensional shape of a protein having a single polypeptide chain with one or more protein secondary structures.

Usually dependent on its primary and secondary structures, the tertiary structure is the final geometric shape that is assumed by a protein.
