The tertiary structure of a protein is a description of the complex and irregular folding of the peptide chain in three dimensions. It is essentially a picture of what the shape of the entire protein actually looks like. Examples are shown in the following ribbon figure of human growth hormone.
The important factor for tertiary structure is that it contains only one polypeptide. If more than one is involved then it becomes quaternary structure. Tertiary protein domains are formed by combinations of disulfide bonds, hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, and non-polar hydrophobic interactions.ertiary protein structure is one step more complicated than secondary structure. Recall that secondary structures are made of alpha helices and beta-pleated sheets. These are both local structures.
