Question

Select the true statements about protein secondary structure.

Answer 1

Answer:

The α‑helix is held together by hydrogen bonds between the amide N−H and C=O groups.

Disulfide bonds stabilize secondary structure.

Explanation:

Proteins have primary, secondary, tertiary and quartinary structures.

The secondary structure of a protein is the regular, recurring sequence of amino acid in a polypeptide chain. Secondary structure of proteins give rise to the folding observed in the structure of a protein.

The major secondary structures of a protein are α-helices and β-structures.
