The spiral configuration of a-helix and ẞ-helix of polypeptide chains are held together by_________ bonds to form secondary structure of protein.
- A phosphodiester
- B hydrogen
- C peptide
- D disulphide
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) hydrogen
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The spiral configuration of \(\alpha\)-hellx and the \(\beta\)-hellx of polypeptide chains are held together by hydrogen bonds to form the secondary structure of a protein. Hydrogen bonds form between the oxygen atom of the carbonyl group and the hydrogen atom of the amino group in the backbone of the polypeptide chain.
