Solution

The quaternary structure of a protein is the shape adopted by two or more folded polypeptide chains. This level of structure is characterized by the arrangement and interactions of multiple polypeptide chains or subunits that come together to form a single protein. These interactions can include hydrogen bonding, disulfide bridges, and hydrophobic interactions. An example of a protein with a quaternary structure is hemoglobin, which is composed of four polypeptide chains.
