Quaternary Structure
Complexes of 2 or more polypeptide chains held together by noncovalent forces but in precise ratios and with a precise 3-D configuration.

Quaternary structure
In biochemistry, many proteins are actually assemblies of more than one protein molecule, which in the context of the larger assemblage are known as protein subunits.
quaternary structure
The particular shape of a complex, aggregate protein, defined by the characteristic three-dimensional arrangement of its constituent subunits, each a polypeptide.

quaternary structure - the interconnection and arrangement of polypeptide chains within a protein. Only proteins with more than one polypeptide chain can have quaternary structure.
Quaternary structure
Some proteins contain two or more polypeptide chains that associate to form a single protein. These proteins have quaternary structure. For example, hemoglobin contains four polypeptide chains.

quaternary structure In some proteins, a fourth structural level created by interactions with other proteins. Aspect of protein structure determined by the number and arrangement of polypeptides in a large protein such as hemoglobin. PICTURE ...
Quaternary structure In proteins containing more than one polypeptide chain, the spatial arrangements of those chains (subunits) and the nature of contacts among them.
Such structure is termed quaternary structure. Structural proteins, such as collagen, have regular repeated primary structures. Like the structural carbohydrates, the components determine the final shape and ultimately function.
Primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structure of proteins.
ABCDEF are several different proteins containing alpha helices and beta sheets.
Their tertiary structure gives them a globular shape ...
Proteins made of two or more polypeptide chains have quaternary structure.
E.
All statements are true.
There is a higher order of structure which is called "quaternary" wherein different subunits bind to and work in concert with other identical member or even a different protein. This quaternary structure describes the larger super molecular assembly ...
