The structure shown below is made up of two strands of long chains of amino acids. What does it depict?

Options

  1. APrimary structure with β-pleated sheet
  2. BTertiary structure with amino acid chains
  3. CSecondary structure with β-conformation
  4. DQuaternary structure with β-pleated sheet

Correct answer

C. Secondary structure with β-conformation

Step-by-step solution

The given figure depicts a secondary structure with beta confirmation. It represents the manner in which the regions of the protein threads, apart from the helix are folded onto each other. Tertiary structure is the structure which represents how a long chain protein thread is folded upon itself. Primary structure is the structure which represents the position of amino acids. Quaternary structure is the structure which represents how the individual folded polypeptides and subunits are arranged.
