For being functional, a protein has to acquire at least
Options
- APrimary structure
- BSecondary structure
- CTertiary structure
- DQuaternary structure.
Correct answer
C. Tertiary structure
Step-by-step solution
Most of the proteins are highly functional in their tertiary structure. The long chain of peptides is folded upon itself to form a hollow ball-like structure. The disulfide linkages that are present in the proteins give the domain structure and that enables their functional activity.
