Structural hierarchy, of proteins

Figure 15.22 The structural hierarchy of proteins. A typical protein s structure can be viewed at different levels. Primary structure (shown as a long string of balls leaving and returning to the picture frame) is the sequence of amino acids. Secondary structure consists of highly ordered regions that occur as an a-helix or a p-sheet. Tertiary structure combines these ordered regions with more random sections. In many proteins, several tertiary units interact to give the quaternary structure. Figure 15.22 The structural hierarchy of proteins. A typical protein s structure can be viewed at different levels.
