Adult human haemoglobin consists of four polypeptide subunits (two and two type). This assembly represents which level of protein structure?

Options

  1. APrimary structure
  2. BSecondary structure
  3. CTertiary structure
  4. DQuaternary structure

Correct answer

D. Quaternary structure

Step-by-step solution

Adult human haemoglobin is composed of four polypeptide subunits, specifically two and two chains. The primary structure refers to the linear sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain. The secondary structure refers to the local folding of the polypeptide chain into structures such as -helices and -pleated sheets. The tertiary structure is the overall three-dimensional shape of a single polypeptide chain. The quaternary structure is the spatial arrangement and interaction of multiple polypeptide subunits to fo
