The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Choose Correct statements about proteins," we need to evaluate each of the provided statements regarding proteins and determine which ones are correct. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate Statement A**: - **Statement**: "Primary structure of proteins refers to amino acid sequence." - **Analysis**: The primary structure of a protein is indeed defined as the specific sequence of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. This sequence determines the protein's unique characteristics and function. - **Conclusion**: **Correct**. 2. **Evaluate Statement B**: - **Statement**: "Interaction between three polypeptide chains give rise to tertiary structure of proteins." - **Analysis**: The tertiary structure of proteins is formed by the folding of a single polypeptide chain into a three-dimensional shape. It is not correct to say that three polypeptide chains together create the tertiary structure; rather, it's the interactions within one polypeptide chain that lead to its tertiary structure. - **Conclusion**: **Incorrect**. 3. **Evaluate Statement C**: - **Statement**: "Association between four polypeptide chains give quaternary structure of proteins." - **Analysis**: The quaternary structure refers to the arrangement of multiple polypeptide chains (subunits) in a protein. However, it is not limited to just four polypeptide chains; it can involve any number of chains. Therefore, this statement is misleading. - **Conclusion**: **Incorrect**. 4. **Evaluate Statement D**: - **Statement**: "Folding of polypeptide chain due to interaction between carbonyl group and NH group of peptide linkage give rise to secondary structure." - **Analysis**: The secondary structure of proteins, such as alpha helices and beta sheets, is stabilized by hydrogen bonds formed between the carbonyl (C=O) of one amino acid and the amide (NH) of another. This statement accurately describes the formation of secondary structures. - **Conclusion**: **Correct**. ### Final Answer: The correct statements about proteins are: - **A**: Primary structure of proteins refers to amino acid sequence. - **D**: Folding of polypeptide chain due to interaction between carbonyl group and NH group of peptide linkage give rise to secondary structure.
