Tertiary structure refers to the spatial arrangement of secondary structures in a protein. It is stabilized through hydrogen bonds, ionic interactions, hydrophobic interactions, and disulfide bonds. There are two main classifications of protein tertiary structure - globular proteins which have a spheroid shape with abundant secondary structures, and fibrous proteins which are rod-shaped with one predominant secondary structure like collagen. Quaternary structure refers to the structure formed when two or more protein subunits (polypeptide chains) combine through non-covalent interactions. Denaturation involves the unfolding of protein structures due to factors like heat, salts, pH, or mechanical action and is partially reversible. Coagulation follows denaturation and involves the irre
