The secondary structure of a protein results from hydrogen bonds.
Here are the different types of structures of proteins: http://www.umass.edu/molvis/workshop/imgs/protein-structure2.png - Vance Austin Neely
hydrogen bonding mainly
The coiling of the protein chain background into an alpha helix is the secondary structure. This is caused by the H-bonded arrangement of the backbone of th protein.
The secondary and tertiary structures.
While it is possible to predict likely secondary structures of a protein from its primary structure, only knowing the secondary structure, the general 3-D shape of local areas of the protein, cannot yield the primary structure.
The structural level of a protein is most affected by disruption would be the secondary structure. It is within the secondary structure where the folding and coiling of the protein is stabilized by hydrogen bonds.
The bonds are covalent.
Secondary Structure of protein
Tertiary structure
The alpha helix and beta sheets are found at the Secondary level of protein folding. It's when the protein is taking its shape. Secondary structure

The secondary and tertiary structures.
There are four types of protein structure. These include primary structure, secondary structure, tertiary structure, and quaternary structure. Primary structure is the amino acid sequence. Secondary structure is the shape of the molecule. Tertiary structure is the interaction between groups. Quaternary structure is the interactions between protein subunits.
It is called secondary structure of proteins .
hydrogen bonds
There are four distinct levels of protein structure. The main two are primary, amino acid, secondary structure, and quaternary structure.
The primary structure is a one or two dimensional structure, whereas the secondary structure is a three dimensional structure in which different parts of the protein molecule bend and twist due to the formation of hydrogen bonds between atoms. This makes the secondary structure shorter than the primary structure.
