Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The validation of the given statement concerning the secondary protein structure has to be stated.
Concept introduction: The arrangement of the portion of protein backbone in space gives the secondary protein structure. There are two types of secondary structure, the alpha helix and the beta pleated. In both alpha helix and beta pleated, interactions that exist are hydrogen bonding.
