Question

The helical structure of protein is stabilised by

A. dipeptide bonds
B. hydrogen bonds  
C. ether bonds
D. peptide bonds
Answer :   hydrogen bonds
Solution :
The helical structure of protein is stabilised by hydrogen bonds between amide group of the same peptide chain. These bonds are formed by $$ - NH - $$  group of one unit and oxygen of carbonyl group of the other unit. It takes 3.6 amino acid to complete one tum of the helix to enable. Such $$H$$ - bonding and a 13 memberring is formed by $$H$$ - bonding. This $$H$$ - bonding is responsible for holding helix in a position.
