Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If hydrogen bonding between amino acids occurred at their side chains, the resulting protein would have this shape:
A
a-helix
B
b-pleated sheet
C
linear chain
D
alpha sheets
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hydrogen bonding between amino groups and carboxyl groups in neighboring regions of the protein chain sometimes causes certain patterns of folding to occur. Known as alpha helices and beta sheets, these stable folding patterns make up the secondary structure of a protein.

Detailed explanation-2: -The alpha-helix is a right-handed helical coil that is held together by hydrogen bonding between every fourth amino acid. Many globular proteins have multiple alpha-helical portions separated by long stretches of non-helical regions.

Detailed explanation-3: -The side chains of adjacent amino acids point in opposite directions which respect to each other. Valine, threonine, histidine, tyrosine and isoleucine are most likely to found in beta sheets.

Detailed explanation-4: -What is a beta-pleated sheet of protein? Beta-Pleated Sheets of Protein is a type of secondary structure of a protein. It consists of various beta strands linked by hydrogen bonds between adjacent strands. Three to ten amino acids are combined to create a beta-strand polypeptide.
