Three dimensional folding of polypeptide chain results in formation of_.
Correct answer: C. Tertiary structure
- A. Primary structure
- B. Secondary structure
- C. Tertiary structure
- D. Quaternary structure
Explanation
Protein tertiary structure is the three dimensional shape of a protein. The tertiary structure will have a single polypeptide chain "backbone" with one or more protein secondary structures, the protein domains. Amino acid side chains may interact and bond in a number of ways.

About Macromolecules
Proteins are classified by shape, composition and structure, from primary amino acid sequence to secondary, tertiary and quaternary organisation, and their biological roles are linked to this structure. Enzymes are examined as protein biocatalysts, including active sites, substrate specificity, activation energy, cofactors and factors affecting activity.
