Protein quaternary structure

ID: protein-quaternary-structure

Protein quaternary structure refers to the highest level of structural organization in proteins, where two or more polypeptide chains, known as subunits, come together to form a larger, functional protein complex. Each subunit in a quaternary structure can consist of one or more polypeptide chains, and these subunits can be identical (homomeric) or different (heteromeric).
