Interpretation:
The two common shapes found in three dimensional folding of proteins should be described.
Concept introduction:
Proteins are polymeric
They polymerise by peptide linkage to form dipeptide, oligopeptide and polypeptide molecules. Each peptide bond formation is a condensation reaction that occurs with the elimination of water molecule.
Answer to Problem 38A
The two common shapes found in three dimensional folding of proteins is alpha helix and
Explanation of Solution
The polymeric biomolecules which are formed by the
The linear sequence of amino acids which forms the peptide chain denotes the primary structure.
Hydrogen bonding is present between different amino acids forms a three-dimensional geometry such as an alpha helix denotes the secondary structure. A spiral molecule is known as alpha helix.
The second major secondary structure is
Therefore, the two common shapes found in three dimensional folding of proteins is alpha helix and
