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.
Cut cucumbers in half lengthwise and then crosswise into â-inch-thick half moons. Place in a medium bowl and mix thoroughly with salt. Let stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, combine garlic, scallions, ginger, vinegar, chile powder, sugar and fish sauce in a medium nonreactive bowl (see Tip). Drain the cucumbers (discard the liquid). Stir the cucumbers into the vinegar mixture.
