MCQ
The helical structure of protein is stabilized by
- AEther bonds
- BPeptide bonds
- CDipeptide bonds
- ✓Hydrogen bonds
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
Hydrogen bonds
d
(d) $\alpha$ -helix structure is formed when the chain of $\alpha$ -amino acid coil as a right handed screw because of the formation of hydrogen bonds between amide groups of the same peptide chain i.e., $NH$ group in one unit is linked to carbonyl oxygen of the third unit by hydrogen bonding. This $H-$ bonding is responsible for holding helix in a position.
