Descrbe protein structure. why protein folding important , how those terms relate to prions?

Protein structure deals with the arrangement of amino acids in the polypeptide chains of a protein molecule.

Explanation:

There are 4 types of protein structure

1 primary structure

2 secondary structure

3 Tertiary structure

4 quaternary structure

Protein folding helps a protein to achieve its native three imensional structural configuration by the formation of various covalent and noncovalent interaction between different parts of the polypeptide chain of the protein molecule.The covalent and non covalent interaction include di sulfide linkage,hydrogen bonding, ionic interaction etc.

     Prions are a type of disease that is called by abnormal folding or misfolding of a protein molecule.This ultimately result in the accumulation insoluble protein aggregates in the cell resulting in the formation of various diseases such as Alzheimer disease,Parkinson disease.

explanation:

idk what the options are but

these is a strong electrostatic attraction between the ions hence a lot of energy is needed to overcome this attraction

this is why the boiling points are so high
