Amino Acids Elements Protein Structure Primary Linear Sequence

Text Elements of Protein Structure:
1) primary: linear sequence of amino acids
2) secondary: local folding of amino acids (e.g. alpha helix, beta sheet)
3) tertiary: global folding, 3D shape which minimizes free energy
4) quaternary: interactions between multiple polypeptides
