Proteins are biomolecules composed of amino acids. Amino acids are joined together through peptide bonds to form a linear chain, which is known as the primary structure of a protein. Formation of hydrogen bonds between specific amino acids in the primary structure helps to fold the primary structure into secondary structure. α-helix, β-sheet, loops, and turns are the secondary structures formed by the proteins. Tertiary structure is the overall three-dimensional conformation of a protein. And all protein become completely active in its tertiary structure. Quaternary structure is the level of conformation that is attained only by multi-subunit proteins.
