An alpha helix which is 18 amino acids long will have 12 hydrogen bonds.

<h3>What is alpha helix (α-helix) ?</h3>

The alpha helix (α-helix) is a common in the secondary structure of proteins and is a right hand-helix conformation in which every backbone N−H group hydrogen bonds to the backbone C=O. group of the amino acid located four residues earlier along the protein sequence.

The alpha helix is stabilized by hydrogen bonds (shown as dashed lines) from the carbonyl oxygen of one amino acid to the amino group of a second amino acid.

Because the amino acids connected by each hydrogen bond are four apart in the primary sequence, these main chain hydrogen bonds are called "n to n+4.
