primary-chain of amino acids, not functional, but eventually determines structure

secondary- alpha helix or beta pleated sheets, formed by h bonding with itself (alpha) or between chains (beta)

Tertiary- folding of a chain and secondary structure to form subunits, uses disulfide bonds, hphobic/hphilic interactions

quarternary-very functional form of protein-spacial arrangement of subunits via diverse bonding mechanisms
