Proteins start as long chains of amino acids, but they fold into specific three-dimensional shapes that allow them to do their jobs in the cell. Explain how a protein folds into its final shape.In your answer, describe the role of: The sequence of amino acids (primary structure) Interactions between side chains (such as hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, and hydrophobic interactions) How this leads to the secondary, tertiary, and possibly quaternary levels of protein structure.
