Q. What kind of bonding is responsible for the secondary structure of proteins?

KEAMKEAM 2000

Solution:

The secondary structure give the shapes or conformation of the protein molecule.This arises from the plane geometry of the peptide bond and hydrogen bond between $ C=O $ and $ NH $ group. Hence, hydrogen bonding is responsible for the secondary structure of proteins.
