    The alpha helices and beta sheets are the example of which level of protein organization?

    A)  Primary structure

    B)  Secondary structure

    C)  Tertiary structure

    D)  Quaternary structure

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Proteins are natural heteropolymer like substances of amino acids. There are four structural levels of proteins. (i) Primary structure Composed of linear array of amino acids. (ii) Secondary   structure   Most   long polypeptide chains are folded to produce this. Three major types of secondary structure are \[\alpha -\]helix, \[\beta -\]pleated sheet,\[\beta \]confirmation. (iii) Tertiary structure This folding brings together active amino acids, which are otherwise scattered along the chain. (iv) Quaternary structure It shown by proteins containing more than one polypeptide chain.
