Concept explainers
Interpretation:
How does beta-sheets 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.
Amino
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.

- What two factors determine the primary structure of a polypeptidechain?arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between a phosphoester bondand a phosphodiester linkage?arrow_forwardConsider the structure of the tripeptide (in its fully protonated form) below. H H H + I || H₂N-C-C-N-C-C-N-C-C-OH 1 I | H CH₂ H CH₂ CH₂ T C=O OH AA1 0=0 || HC-CH3 CH3 AA2 AA3 0=C 1. Give the sequence of the tripeptide using the ONE-LETTER DESIGNATION (UPPERCASE LETTER) with NO spaces and symbols between each letter. 2. How many ionizable groups are there in the tripeptide? Give the numerical value (e.g., 10 not ten). • pH 10: {Choices: -2, -1, 0, +1, +2} 3. Which amino acid residue has one ionizable group left upon forming the tripeptide? {Choices: AA1, AA2, AA3, none, all} 4. Give the net charge of the dominant structure of the tripeptide at the given pH values. The pK, values of the amino acids are given in Table 1. • pH 4: {Choices: -2, -1, 0, +1, +2}arrow_forward
