The secondary structure of a protein refers to

Question

The secondary structure of a protein refers to (A) α-helical backbone (B) hydrophobic interactions (C) sequence of α-amino acids (D) fixed configuration of the polypeptide backbone

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Secondary structure of proteins involves α − helical back bond and β − sheet structures. These structures are formed as a result of H-bonding between different peptide groups. Hence, (1) is correct

Q. The secondary structure of a protein refers to

$α$ -helical backbone

hydrophobic interactions

sequence of $α$ -amino acids

fixed configuration of the polypeptide backbone

Secondary structure of proteins involves $α$ − helical back bond and $β$ − sheet structures. These structures are formed as a result of H-bonding between different peptide groups. Hence, (1) is correct
