Proteins are the end products of the decoding process that starts with the information in cellular DNA.Not only are these proteins assembled with different amino acid sequences, but they also are held together by different bonds.

What are proteins made of?
The building blocks of proteins are amino acids, which are small organic moleculesWithin a protein, multiple amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds, thereby forming a long chain..

What is the Primary Structure of a protein?
its amino acid sequence — drives the folding and intramolecular bonding of the linear amino acid chain, which ultimately determines the protein's unique three-dimensional shape.
3 of 6
What is the Secondary Structure of a protein?
Hydrogen bonding between amino groups and carboxyl groups in neighboring regions of the protein chain sometimes causes certain patterns of folding to occur. Known as alpha helices and beta sheets

What is the Tertiary Structure of a protein?
Most proteins contain multiple helices and sheets, in addition to other less common patterns. The ensemble of formations and folds in a single linear chain of amino acids are sometimes called a polypeptide

What is the Quartenary Structure of a protein?
The quaternary structure of a protein refers to those macromolecules with multiple polypeptide chains or subunits.
