QAIPMT-2004-Ch-2576: NEET 2004 Chemistry - Class 12 AIPMT-2004-Ch-2576 Solution: The helical structure of protein is stabilised by
The helical structure of protein is stabilised by
Multiple Choice Options
- A dipeptide bonds
- B hydrogen bonds
- C ether bonds
- D peptide bonds
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
The _ -helix structure is formed when the
chain of _ -amino acids coils as a right handed
screw (called _ -helix) because of the formation
of hydrogen bonds between amide groups of
the same peptide chain, i.e., NH group in one
unit is linked to carbonyl oxygen of the third
unit by hydrogen bonding. This hydrogen
bonding between different units is responsible
for holding helix in a position.
