Question
Which of the following are CORRECT about protein structure?P. Secondary structure is formed by a repeating pattern of interactionsamong the polypeptide backbone atomsQ. Tertiary structure is the three-dimensional arrangement of thepolypeptide backbone atoms onlyR. Quaternary structure refers to an assembly of multiple polypeptidesubunits(A) P and Q only(B) P and R only(C) Q and R only(D) P, Q and R
Solution
The correct answer is (B) P and R only.
P. Secondary structure is formed by a repeating pattern of interactions among the polypeptide backbone atoms - This statement is correct. The secondary structure of a protein refers to the local folded structures that form within a polypeptide due to interactions between its backbone atoms (those that make up the peptide bond). The most common types of secondary structures are alpha helices and beta sheets.
Q. Tertiary structure is the three-dimensional arrangement of the polypeptide backbone atoms only - This statement is incorrect. The tertiary structure of a protein refers to the overall three-dimensional structure of a polypeptide chain. This structure is not determined solely by the arrangement of the polypeptide backbone atoms, but also by the interactions between the side chains (R groups) of the amino acids.
R. Quaternary structure refers to an assembly of multiple polypeptide subunits - This statement is correct. The quaternary structure of a protein refers to the structure formed by the assembly of multiple polypeptide chains (subunits) into a single functional protein complex.
