Study Notes
Bonding in Amino Acid Residues
- The single bond between the alpha-carbon and the amino nitrogen is responsible for the free rotation in an amino acid residue.
Polypeptide Chain Structure
- A polypeptide chain can fold into an alpha-helix, a regular structure.
Polypeptide Backbone Arrangement
- The local arrangement of the backbone of a polypeptide chain is an alpha-helix, which is hydrogen-bonded.
