The secondary level of protein structure refers to the spatial arrangements of short segments of the protein.
In a B-pleated sheet, the side chains are located between adjacent segments.
Peptide bonds stabilize secondary structure.
The x-helix is held together by hydrogen bonds between the amide N-H and C=O groups.

Amino acids them selves are covalently, bound to gather, but for other forces are needed to maintain a functional proteins structure. Briefly describe these forces.arrow_forwardWhich statement best describes the protein structure shown below? This is an alpha helix.
