An alpha helix is a secondary level of protein structure. Proteins have four possible levels of structure. The primary structure is the amino acid sequence, the secondary structure is created by hydrogen bonding, the tertiary structure is the overall three dimensional shape of the protein and the...
Protein alpha-helical regions often fold into coil-coiled configurations that can span membranes, bind DNA, or serve structural roles. History The term alpha helix was coined by William Astbury in the 1930s. Linus Pauling worked out the structure accurately in 1948. See Also Amino Acid ...
Thealpha helixis a rod-like structure whose inner section is formed by a tightly coiled main chain, with its side chains extending outward in a helical array. Thealpha helixstructure takes advantage of thehydrogen bondbetween CO and NH groups of the main chain to stabilize. The CO group of...
The α-helix structure shows typical strong negative bands at 222 and 208nm. In contrast, the β-strand and random coil structures have very low ellipticity, approximately −4000deg.cm2/dmol at 208nm. Therefore the fraction of α-helix content (fα) can be reliably estimated at [θ]208...

Protein Secondary Structure - Alpha Helix What Is Beta Sheet? - A beta sheet is a secondary structure in a protein, where a section of the protein sequence is positioned side by side with another section of the protein sequence into a pleated sheet conformation. The oxygen of the carboxylic...
The stability of alpha-helix structure is due to intramolecular H-bonding between -NH- and -CO- groups of the same polypeptide chain. The alpha-helix is termed as 3.613 helix since each turn of the helix has approximately 3.6 amino acids and the hydrogen
Alpha-helix destabilization:In the year 1951 Linus Pauling, Robert Corey, and Herman Branson proposed the alpha-helix structure, Alpha helix forms the backbone of a polypeptide chain. It is a type of secondary protein structure.Answer and Explanation: ...
The nucleosomal DNA repeat of 240 base pairs in the chromatin structure of sea urchin sperm is exceptionally long and is accompanied by the presence of a histone H1 molecule larger than is usual in most species of chromatin. I propose how these two features are correlated and how they fit in...
The secondary structure of the protein was assigned for each timeframe using the DSSPcont criteria45. This was then used to calculate the helicity (or average helical fraction) of the protein overall. For the salt bridge analysis, the distance between Lys Nζ and the centroid of (Glu Oε1...
