Question
Write a note on tertiary structure of protein compound.

Answer

→"The tertiary structure of proteins represents overall folding of the polypeptide chains ie., further folding of the secondary structure."
It gives rise to two major molecular shapes viz. Fibrous and globular.
The main forces which stabilise the 2º and 3º structures of proteins are hydrogen bonds, disulphide linkages, van der Waals and electrostatic forces of attraction.
