The tertiary structure is the overall 3D folding of a polypeptide, stabilized by interactions between R groups (hydrophobic, hydrogen, ionic, and disulfide bonds).

| Front | Tertiary structure of protein 2.1.2(m) |
|---|---|
| Back | - the folding of the protein into its final shape - involves sections of secondary structure as it brings R groups closer to interact Interactions: - Hydrophobic/Hydrophillic (non polar/polar R groups) - H2 bonding (weakest) - Ionic bonding (opp charged R groups) - Disulfide bonds (covalent so strongest, only between R groups with sulfur) |
