Concept explainers
Interpretation:
How does alpha-helix results from hydrogen bonding is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Many amino acids are linked together through amide bonds to form a biologically large molecule known to be proteins.
Secondary structure of protein is the repeating structural patterns (
Hydrogen atom when bonded to a highly electronegative atom that has an unpaired, electron pair creates hydrogen bonding.
