Which of the following is an illustration that protein tertiary structure is NOT strictly dependent on protein secondary structure and vice versa?
| A. Proteins are composed of amino acid monomers. |
| B. Globular proteins have both secondary and tertiary structure. |
| C. Fibrous proteins are dominated primarily by secondary structure and have little to no tertiary structure. |
| D. Globular structures often contain one or more functional domains. |
Solution
C. Fibrous proteins are dominated primarily by secondary structure and have little to no tertiary structure.
The structure of fibrous proteins is due to certain amino acid sequences. The proteins do not have tertiary structure.
