Solution: The tertiary structure of a protein is determined by:A. The primary structure of a protein.B. where it is produced in the cell.C. the quaternary structure of the protein.D. the number of amino acids it contains.
Problem
Solution
The protein's tertiary structure is the overall three-dimensional arrangement of its atoms. In contrast, quaternary structures are three-dimensional complexes of multiple protein subunits.
