Tertiary structure is achieved when a protein folds into a compact, three-dimensional shape stabilized by interactions between side-chain r groups of amino acids.
What is the structure of proteins?
A secondary amine (in proline), a molecule with the amino group (NH 2) attached to the alkyl side chain, and an amino acid with five carbon atoms (glutamic acid), are also found in proteins. Aspartic and glutamic acids both have two carboxyl groups (COOH), making them dicarboxylic acids.
When a protein folds into a small, three-dimensional shape that is stabilised by interactions between side-chain r groups of amino acids, this is known as tertiary structure.
