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 involves α-helical and β-pleated sheet like structure. Where as Primary strucure involves sequence of α-amino acids polypeptide chain.

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 involves $α$ -helical and $β$ -pleated sheet like structure. Where as Primary strucure involves sequence of $α$ -amino acids polypeptide chain.
