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.
A lime-water solution is used as an initial soak for fresh cucumbers 12 to 24 hours before pickling. It must not be added to the final brine or pickling solution in the jar. Only food grade lime should be used, never agricultural or burnt lime.
