The interactions between the 2 a and 2 b subunits of hemoglobin represent what type of protein structure?
The interactions between the 2 a and 2 b subunits of hemoglobin represent what type of protein structure?
Protein structure: The three dimensional arrangement of monomer units of protein constitute the structure of protein.
There are 4 types of protein structure.
Primary structure is formed by the linear arrangement of Aminoacids joined by peptide bonds.
Secondary structure is formed from hydrogen bonds between units of peptide backbone which fold the peptide chain into repetitive patterns like alpha helix or beta sheet etc.
Tertiary structure is the further three dimensional folding of peptide chain because of interactions between side chains of Aminoacids.
Quarternary structure is formed as individual subunits associate and form closely packed arrangement.
