   Linked via "three-dimensional conformation"

   Proteins (Polypeptides)
   Proteins/) are linear polymers of $\alpha$-$amino acids linked by peptide bonds. Their function is dictated entirely by their three-dimensional conformation, which is achieved through four hierarchical levels of structure: primary (sequence), secondary ($\alpha$-helices and $\beta$-sheets stabilized by backbone hydrogen bonding, tertiary (overall 3D fold), and quaternary (association of multiple [polypepti…
