Vedclass · Answer

(B) The helical polypeptide chain undergoes coiling and folding to form a complex three-dimensional shape referred to as the tertiary structure of proteins.These coils and folds are arranged to hide the non-polar amino acid side chains and to expose the polar side chains.The tertiary structure is stabilized by various weak interactions such as hydrogen bonds,ionic bonds,hydrophobic interactions,and disulfide bridges between different parts of the polypeptide chain.
