The correct statement about peptides and proteins is :
 
1. In α-helices, the polypeptide chain is twisted into a left-handed helix and stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonds.
2. The tertiary structure of proteins has two or more polypeptide subunits
3. Only proteins having a quaternary structure are biologically active.
4.
In β-pleated sheet structures, peptide chains are held together by intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
