Identify the incorrect statement about tertiary structure of proteins.
- A They can be fibrous or globular in structure.
- B The main forces that stabilize the structure are hydrogen bonding, disulphide links, van der Waals and electrostatic forces of attraction.
- C The structure remains intact when exposed to pH changes.
- D A linear polypeptide chain will convert to a secondary structure and then further folding of the secondary structure will convert to tertiary structure.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) The structure remains intact when exposed to pH changes.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The tertiary structure of proteins represents the overall folding of the polypeptide chains, which is the further folding of the secondary structure. This folding gives rise to two major molecular shapes: fibrous and globular. The main forces that stabilize the secondary and…
