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