What types of chemical bonds are involved in maintaining the secondary structure of a protein?

The secondary structure of a protein is a property of an individual polypeptide chain. It is the conformation that the chain of amino acids acquires. The major types of secondary structure are: coil (an alpha helix) sheet (a beta pleated sheet) turn (a tight bend made up of four amino acids, especially including proline, which forms a rigid kink, and glycine, which has a tiny side-chain) There are also more or less amorphous regions, referred to by such terms as loops and random coils. Secondary structures are held in place by hydrogen bonding. The secondary structure of a chain is hierarchically between the primary structure (the amino acid sequence) and the tertiary structure (higher-level folding, stabilized by charge, hydrophobic interaction, and by covalent sulfur-sulfur bridges).

What is always a characteristic of a chemical change but not always a characteristic of a physical change?
When a chemical change takes place, the chemical structure of particles involved changes (i.e. one or more new substances are formed). In a physical change, the physical state of the particles involved changes (e.g. a solid melts and becomes a liquid). The chemical structure of the particles does not change, and no new substance is formed.
Is grinding of meat a physical or chemical?
no it is a physical change because you are just changing the size not the chemical structure

What is a key feature of a chemical change?
Any change that changes the atomic and molecular composition and structure of the substances involved. Mostly it is a physical change that cannot be reversed.

What is distinctive about primary vs secondary protein structure?
The primary structure of a protein is just an amino acid string; a polypeptide. The secondary structure of a protein is the hydrogen bonding of the side chains that form the polypeptide chain into alpha helices and beta sheets.
