Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The representation of the secondary structure of a protein needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Secondary structure of a protein gives the idea whether the protein has beta sheet structure or α-helix structure.
Answer to Problem 11A
Secondary structure of a protein represents the arrangement of the protein molecule in space.
Explanation of Solution
Secondary structure of proteins can be generally two types.
α-helix structure is the representation of protein molecule which is spiral-like structure.
Some of the amino acids are there which imparts turns in the protein structure.
Amino acids like alanine, methionine and leucine prefer to adopt helical conformation.
In beta sheet structure several different protein molecules are joined together.
Amino acids with
