  8. Levels Of Protein Organization • Primary Structure - The sequence of amino acids in the protein • Secondary Structure - The formation of a helices and b pleated sheets due to hydrogen bonding between the peptide backbone • Tertiary Structure - Folding of helices and sheets influenced by R groups • Quaternary Structure - The association of more than one polypeptide into a protein complex influenced by R groups

  11. Protein Secondary Structure • The peptide backbone of DNA has areas of positive charge and negative charge • These areas can interact with one another to form hydrogen bonds • The result of these hydrogen bonds are two types of structures: • a helices • b pleated sheets

  20. Levels Of Protein OrganizationQuaternary Structure • Quaternary structure results from the interaction of independent polypeptide chains • Factors influencing quaternary structure include: • Hydrophobic/hydrophilic interactions • Hydrogen bonding • The shape and charge distribution on associating polypeptides
