What defines tertiary structure? The sequence of amino acids. Hydrogen-bonding interactions between adjacent amino acid residues into helical or pleated segments. The folding of a single polypeptide chain in 3-dimensional space. The way in which separate, folded, monomeric, protein subunits associate to form oligomeric proteins.
