- 6) Proline is not commonly found in the middle of a-helices because its ring structure prevents it from adopting the proper value and because it disrupts the hydrogen-bonding pattern of the helix. Looking at the structure of proline in the amino acid sequence below, suggest how this residue would disrupt the hydrogen-bonding pattern of an a-helix. 'N H R N N H *** R40.What would you expect about the formation of an alpha-helix for a segment of a protein chain that contains lysine approximately every four residue with all other residues being mostly hydrophobic? A. Helix formation would be favored at low pH B. Helix formation would be favored at high pH C. Helix formation would be favored at neutral pH D. Helix formation would never occur regardless of pH3. The primary amino acid sequence of a stretch of polypeptide is Asp-Glu-Pro- Lys-His-Arg. Would you expect this portion of the polypeptide to form an alpha helix at PH35? Provide 3 reasons to justify your answer.

Do the "Bond X" bonds in Figure 4 involve atoms in the amino acid R groups or in the polypeptide "backbone"/ "main chain" atoms? 5. Given Your Answer To “b," are each of the following statements True or False? Be able to explain your reasoning. o Only very specific primary sequences can form a-helices and B-sheets. o Many different primary sequences can form a-helices and B-sheets. Each arrow depicted in Figure 4D represents consecutive amino acids in the primary sequence of the polypeptide, while the different arrows may be formed from amino acids that are removed from each other in the primary sequence. Each arrow is referred to as a B-strand, and the structure formed through interaction of the B-strands is the B-sheet. In a complete protein, other segments of the protein would connect the different B-strands. 6. Do the "Bond X" bonds in the B-sheet connect atoms from the same B-strand or neighboring strands?
