Primary structure involves the amino acid sequence, secondary structure focuses on repetitive motifs like α-helices and β-sheets, tertiary structure describes 3D folding, and quaternary structure encompasses subunit organization. It also explores peptide bond formation, protein stability through chemical interactions, and methods for protein structure determination.
