Tertiary structure of protein-Types of tertiary structure

Question

Write down the tertiary structure of protein? And also write down the major types of tertiary structure?

Answer 1

The tertiary protein structure is spatial conformation additional to secondary structure in which alpha-helix or beta-sheet folds itself up. The forces which keep the tertiary structure basically are interactions between–R groups of amino acids and between other parts of protein and water molecules of solution.

The major types of tertiary structure of proteins are globular proteins and fibrous proteins.
