What causes the secondary structure of protein to differ in length from the primary?

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.


What are the subgroups of protein?

There are four distinct levels of protein structure. The main two are primary, amino acid, secondary structure, and quaternary structure.

Describe the two types of secondary protein structure and explain the role of hydrogen bonds in maintaining the structure?

One secondary structure, α helix, is a delicate coil held together by hydrogen bonds every 4th amino acid. A structure with α helix is keratin, the material the human body uses to produce hair. The other secondary structure is β pleated sheet. In this one, two or more strands of β strands are connected by hydrogen bonds between parts of two parallel polypeptide backbones. This secondary structure is what spider webs are made of, and the hydrogen bonding makes it stronger than a strand of steel of the same weight. These secondary structures are unable to be formed without hydrogen bonding.

Hemoglobin represents which level of protein organization?

Haemoglobin has a protein structure upto quarternary structure since it is a dimer made up of two monomeric units, each of which are two in number. Thus the overall structure has 4 monomeric units.


Where do bonds form in secondary structure?

Two types of bond formation takes place in a secondary protein: 1. peptide bond due to amides 2. hydrogen bond


What is the resonance form?

resonance forms are individual lewis structure in cases where two or more lewis structure are equally good descriptions of a single molecule .


What is the formula of germanium?

Germanium has two forms , each with a formula unit of Ge. One has a structure like diamond, the other is metallic, and only forms at very high pressure and has structure similar to the metallic form of tin.


What level of protein structure does a a-helix?

Some parts of a protein can have a helical structure - one of the most common secondary structures in proteins is the alpha helix.However, helix - especially double helix - will probably be more often used in the description of DNA, so be careful not to mistake the two.
