Printable Worksheet with Quiz

Title: Understanding Protein Structure

Part A: Match the Terms

Match the protein structure with its correct description:

Structur
Description
e

A. Spiral or zig-zag folding (helix or


Primary
sheet)

Secondar B. Final 3D shape due to R-group


y interactions

Tertiary C. Sequence of amino acids

Quaterna
D. Multiple chains joined together
ry

Part B: Fill in the Blanks

1. Proteins are made up of building blocks called ____________.

2. The type of bond found in secondary structure is ____________


bond.

3. The 3D folded shape of a protein is known as its ____________


structure.

4. ____________ structure involves more than one polypeptide chain.

Part C: Label the Diagram

(Insert a diagram of a protein with labeled stages: straight chain → alpha


helix/beta sheet → folded shape → complex with multiple chains.)

Ask students to label:

 Primary

 Secondary

 Tertiary

 Quaternary
🧩 2. Classroom Activity: Build-a-Protein Game

Materials:

 Colored beads or paper circles (each color = one amino acid)

 Pipe cleaners/string

 Labels for each level of structure

Steps:

1. Students create a "primary structure" with 10 beads in any


sequence.

2. Fold parts into helices or sheets = secondary structure.

3. Twist and fold further = tertiary structure.

4. Join 2–3 chains = quaternary structure.

💡 Alternative: Use marshmallows and toothpicks!

📌 3. Poster/Diagram to Display in Class

I can generate a printable A4/A3 poster showing:

Level Description Visual

Primary Chain of amino acids Bead chain

Secondar
Alpha-helix, Beta-sheet Spirals / Zigzag lines
y

Folded paper/crumpled
Tertiary Folded 3D shape
yarn

Quaterna Multi-chain protein Interlocked chains or


ry complex balls
