Proteins: Tertiary and Quaternary Structures. 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.
Making cucumber water is pretty simple: 1  Slice a cleaned, peeled (or unpeeled depending on your preference) cucumber into 1/2 inch slices. 2  Combine cucumber slices in water, and type with ice. Allow to marinate for at least an hour.
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and add to the large mixing bowl. Dissolve the powdered alum in your small cup by pouring enough water over the powder to create a thin paste. Pour the six cups of water over top of the cucumbers. You may need a little more water if your cucumbers are larger than average. Your aim is to completely cover all of the cucumbers in water.
