Question

What is meant by tertiary structure of proteins??​

Answer 1

Answer:

Tertiary structures are formed by coiling and folding of chains of proteins. The folding of the tertiary chains leads to the exposure of polar ends while it hides the non-polar amino acid chains. The tertiary structure is held together by the weak non-covalent interacting formed between various parts of the polypeptide chain.

Answer 2

Answer:

Protein tertiary structure is the three dimensional shape of a protein. The tertiary structure will have a single polypeptide chain "backbone" with one or more protein secondary structures, the protein domains. Amino acid side chains may interact and bond in a number of ways. The interactions and bonds of side chains within a particular protein determine its tertiary structure. The protein tertiary structure is defined by its atomic coordinates.
