Quaternary protein structure is formed by the assembly of multiple polypeptide chains, which may include prosthetic groups like the iron in hemoglobin.
Quaternary protein structure occurs when two or more polypeptide chains associate, potentially including a non-protein prosthetic group like iron in hemoglobin.
