Answer
Primary structure of a protein- sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain; maintained by peptide bonds.
Secondary structure of a protein- local folded structures which is formed within a polypeptide by the interactions between atoms of the backbone and maintained by hydrogen bonding between different amino acids.
Tertiary structure of a protein- overall three-dimensional structure of polypeptide which is formed by the interactions between R groups of amino acids and maintained by hydrophobic interaction and disulfide bonds.
Quaternary structure of a protein- consists of several separate tertiary-structured
polypeptide chains and is maintained by hydrophobic interaction and disulfide bonds.
