True or False: the tertiary structure of Rubisco is formed primarily by covalent bonding between amino acids that are not necessarily adjacent to each other in the primary structure.
In what case would it be true and false
thank you!
The image below depicts the structure of RuBisCO isolated from the leaf of a spinach plant. RuBisCO is made up of two different polypeptide chains, or subunits. These subunits associate with each other to form a "dimer" (a structure made up of two polypeptide chainsh, and then four dimers associate with each other to form the full RuBisCO protein. The left side of the image depicts the subunits, the middle part of the image depicts a dimer, and the right side of the image depicts the full RuBisCO protein. The full RuBisCO protein shown on the right has one area of the protein structure colored green and boxed, with an arrow pointing to it. Use this information to answer the following questions.
