Schematically represent primary, secondary and teritiary structures of a hypothetical polymer using protein as an example.

Explanation

The sequence of amino acids, i.e. the positional information in a protein is called the primary structure of a protein. A protein is imagined as a line, the left end represented by the first amino acid called Nterminal amino acid and the right end represented by the last aminoacid called C-terminal aminoacid In proteins, only, right handed helics are observed. Other regions of the protein thread are folded into other forms in what is called the secondary structure. In addition, the long protein-chain is also folded upon itself like a hollow woolen ball giving rise to the tertiary structure,
