Secondary Structure: α-Helices - Chemistry LibreTexts
An α-helix is a right-handed coil of amino-acid residues on a polypeptide chain, typically ranging between 4 and 40 residues. This coil is held together by hydrogen bonds between the oxygen of C=O on top coil and the hydrogen of N-H on the bottom coil.
Alpha-Helix and Beta-Sheet - BYJU'S
Alpha-Helix and Beta-Pleated sheets are types of the secondary structure of the protein. They both are shaped by hydrogen bonding between the carbonyl O of one amino acid and the amino H of another. This section will discuss the protein, types of protein, and the primary and secondary protein structures, i.e. alpha-helix and beta-pleated sheets.
Difference Between Alpha Helix and Beta Pleated Sheet
2016年5月15日 · Alpha helix and beta plates are two different secondary structures of protein. Alpha helix is a right handed-coiled or spiral conformation of polypeptide chains. In alpha helix, every backbone N-H group donates a hydrogen bond to the backbone C=O group, which is placed in four residues prior.
7.4: Secondary structure of proteins - Chemistry LibreTexts
2023年9月21日 · Define the secondary structure of proteins and understand the structural features of major secondary structures, including \(\alpha\)-helix, \(\beta\)-pleated sheet, random coil, and triple helix structures.
4.2: Secondary Structure and Loops - Biology LibreTexts
Each single strand of the beta-sheet can be pictured as a twofold helix, i.e. a helix with 2 residues/turn. The arrangement of each successive peptide plane is pleated due to the tetrahedral nature of the alpha C. Hydrogen bonds are inter-strand, not intra-strand as in the alpha helix.
Why is DNA a helix? - The University of Liverpool
Why is DNA a helix? smaller version. Many people perceive the double helical structure of DNA (left) to be an extremely elegant, and in some ways miraculous structure.
26.10: Protein Structure - Chemistry LibreTexts
In a helix, the main chain of the protein adopts the shape of a clockwise spiral staircase, and the side chains point out laterally. In a beta-sheet (or beta-strand) structure, two sections of protein chain are aligned side-by-side in an extended conformation.
Alpha-Helix - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
The α-helix is one of the most common secondary structure motifs found in proteins and polypeptides and comprises a single strand of the polypeptide chain in a helical form with a right handed twist and is stabilized mainly by hydrogen bonds between C=O i and N-H i+4 groups within the same chain.
Secondary Structure (2˚) -- Alpha Helices - University of Vermont
An alpha helix is an element of secondary structure in which the amino acid chain is arranged in a spiral. The kinemage linked above shows an individual alpha helix, viewed from the N-terminal end to resemble the "helical wheel" (see figure below).
