STRUCTURE OF PROTEINS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The two types of secondary structures are
A
Alpha Pleated Sheet, Beta Helix
B
Alpha Helix, Beta Pleated Sheet
C
Polypeptide, Globular Protein
D
Fibrous, Globular
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The most common types of secondary structures are the helix and the pleated sheet. Both structures are held in shape by hydrogen bonds, which form between the carbonyl O of one amino acid and the amino H of another.

Detailed explanation-2: -Proteins are found to have two different types of secondary structures: alpha helix and beta pleated sheet.

Detailed explanation-3: -Alpha-Helix and Beta-Pleated sheets are types of the secondary structure of the protein. They both are shaped by hydrogen bonding between the carbonyl O of one amino acid and the amino H of another.

Detailed explanation-4: -Beta pleated sheet is an example of the secondary structure of a protein. The beta sheet is composed of beta strands which are polypeptides linked by hydrogen bonding.

Detailed explanation-5: -The two most common secondary structural elements are alpha helices and beta sheets, though beta turns and omega loops occur as well. Secondary structure elements typically spontaneously form as an intermediate before the protein folds into its three dimensional tertiary structure.
