The tertiary structure of a protein involves the overall three-dimensional shape of a single polypeptide chain, and it is largely determined by interactions between:

  • Adjacent amino acids in the sequence.
  • The carbonyl oxygen and amide hydrogen atoms of the backbone.
  • The R-groups (side chains) of amino acids.
  • Different polypeptide subunits.
