Proline is one of the amino acids in the "special" groups of sidechains. One reason for this is the dramatic impact it can have on secondary structure. a) draw the lewis structure for a tripeptide with the sequence Ala-Pro-Ala b) Proline residues are rarely found in alpha helices - in fact, they are often referred to as helix-disrupting amino acids. Thinking about intermolecular interactions, provide an explanation for why proline might disrupt alpha-helices. c) Proline also has a similar effect on beta-sheets, and is rarely found in the middle of beta sheets. Thinking about noncovalent interactions, provide an explanation for why proline might disrupt beta-sheets.
