Primary, secondary, tertiary structure?
Primary: The amino acid sequence (there are 20 different amino acids) -> biochemical methods
Secondary: Polypeptide chain, alpha helix (tubule), beta sheet, random coil -> CD-Spectroscopy, often can be predicted
Tertiary (conformation): 3D-shape, changes of the 3D-shape are also called conformational changes, X-ray crystallography
Secondary: Polypeptide chain, alpha helix (tubule), beta sheet, random coil -> CD-Spectroscopy, often can be predicted
