the conventional sturcture is the reslt of the turning out to be a member of of the amino acids. The orders and the numbers of amino acids make conventional shape which contain leuicine- glycine- penylalanie make a at once line Secondary shape could be coild or folded some moecules have the two bear in mind the coiling or pleating is the end results of allure between amino acids consistent with conventional shape. Tertiary strtucture is the final shape of the molecules... enable say once you're making a coiled string a shape... Quaternayr shape is created from 4 subunits of tertiarty shape(same) no longer all protein have a qualternary shape.
