Which of the following statements about protein structure is CORRECT a. Fibrous proteins can have rigid quaternary structure b. The stability of the quaternary structure in proteins is mainly a result of covalent bonds among the subunits c. The denaturation of proteins always leads to irreversible loss of secondary and tertiary structure d. The information required for the correct folding of a protein is contained in the specific sequence of amino acids along the polypeptide chain e. The formation of a disulfide bond in a protein requires that the two participating cysteine residues be adjacent to each other in the primary sequence of the protein
