Question

Proteins are found to have two different types of secondary structures viz. α-helix and β-pleated sheet structure, α-helix structure of protein is stabilised by (A) peptide bonds (B) van der Waals forces (C) hydrogen bonds (D) dipole-dipole interactions

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

α-Helix structure of protein is stabilised by hydrogen bonds between —NH— group of one amino acid residue and the <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/78d28aa65db4514294c471e33e69324a-.png" /> group of another amino acid residue.

Q. Proteins are found to have two different types of secondary structures viz. $α$ -helix and $β$ -pleated sheet structure, $α$ -helix structure of protein is stabilised by

peptide bonds

van der Waals forces

hydrogen bonds

dipole-dipole interactions

$α$ -Helix structure of protein is stabilised by hydrogen bonds between $— N H —$ group of one amino acid residue and the group of another amino acid residue.
