Protein Structures PPT: Definition and Levels Free Download: Condensation of amino acids to form peptide bonds forms a protein structure. There are four types of protein structures- primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary. Primary structure is the sequence of amino acids, secondary are the dihedral angles of the peptide bonds, tertiary structure is the folding of protein chains in the space, and finally the association of polypeptide molecules to complex functional proteins forms the quaternary structure.

Further, there are two types of proteins- fibrous and globular. Fibrous proteins are insoluble chains of proteins that run parallel to each other and are held by hydrogen or disulfide bonds. Globular are water soluble and are formed when the chains coin around to give a spherical structure.
