Question

what is meant by tertiary structure of protein
​

Answer 1

Answer:

                The tertiary structure is the structure at which polypeptide chains become functional. At this level, every protein has a specific three-dimensional shape and presents functional groups on its outer surface, allowing it to interact with other molecules, and giving it its unique function.

Answer 2

Answer:

Tertiary structure:

• The long protein chain of the

polypeptide chain usually folds

upon itself like a hollow woollen

ball. This is termed as tertiary

structure. This structure gives a

3-dimensional view of protein.

• Tertiary structure is absolutely

necessary for the many

biological activities of proteins

for example, this structure

brings distant amino acid side

chains closer forming the active

site (the site to which a

substrate gets attached) of

proteins i.e., enzymes. e.g.,

Myoglobin (protein found in

muscle cell)
