You are observing proteins in a lab for an experiment. During transport, they have started to unwind and lose their shape. You notice long strands wound into alpha helices. What level of structure are the proteins in?

A. Tertiary
B. Secondary
C. Quaternary
D. Primary

Respuesta :

Answer:

c for sure

Explanation:

The level of the  structure is the proteins in the Secondary,

  • In proteins, the structure of local segments can be arranged into three different three-dimensional formations: alpha helices (α-helix), beta sheets (β-strand), and omega loops. An alpha helix is the most common secondary protein conformation because it has low energy and a stable arrangement.
  • The α-helix is formed by the interaction between amino acids of every backbone N−H hydrogen-bonded with the backbone C=O group of the corresponding amino acid residue in the polypeptide chain.
  • The α-helix motif is very common in transmembrane segments of proteins that cross the lipid bilayer.  
  • Protein biosynthesis is a core biological process, occurring inside cells, balancing the loss of cellular proteins through the production of new proteins.
  • Proteins perform several critical functions as enzymes, structural proteins, or hormones.
