The secondary structure of protein consists of:
- A A folding of the polypeptide chains which exists as fibrous and globular
- B Two or more polypeptide chains which exist as sub-units
- C A long polypeptide chain which exists \(\alpha\)-helix and \(\beta\)-pleated sheet structure
- D A long chain of amino acids linked with each other in a specific sequence
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) A long polypeptide chain which exists \(\alpha\)-helix and \(\beta\)-pleated sheet structure
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The primary structure of a protein refers to the specific sequence of amino acids in the polypeptide chain. The secondary structure refers to the local folded structures that form within a polypeptide due to hydrogen bonding between the backbone amide and carbonyl groups. The…
