an enzyme is a protein therefore it has all the levels of protein structure (although nt all enzymes have a quarternary structure)Can someone PLEASE answer me? Why are the 4 levels of protein structure involved in maintaing the specificity of an enzyme when an enzyme is limited to a tertiary structure?? Much appreciated.
therefore obviously 2 proteins (enzymes) which have diff primary structure will have diff specificity
2 proteins (enzymes) which have diff secondary structure (ie one may be alpha helix while the other beta pleated) will have diff specificity
and so on with tertiary n quaternary
in short u cant expect 2 enzymes with same tertiary structure while diff primary structure to have the same specificity
hope u understood
