• The four structures of protein are primary, secondary, tertiary, and


quaternary. These levels determine the shape and function of a protein
and are distinguished from one another by the degree of complexity in a
polypeptide chain.

other hand, Globular proteins are functional, which means they carry
out a specific biological function in the body.
