As amino acids are linked together, they form proteins. Amino acids like cysteine which contain a sulfur atom may covalently bond to each other, forming a disulfide bridge.

What protein structure level is it?

Question

TheoryPractice · Accepted Answer

Tertiary structure.. Generally, amino acids form through amide linkages also known as peptide bonds. Chains of those linkages form proteins.

However, atoms on the side chains can form covalent bonds within the protein as well. That is referred to as the tertiary structure of the protein. Hydrogen bonding is considered part of the protein’s secondary structure. The correct answer therefore, is (C).
