What level of protein structure is represented by the coiling of the protein chain backbone into an alpha helix?

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.

What structural level of a protein most affected by a disruption in hydrogen bonding?
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.
Pleating or coiling is what protein sturcture?
secondary
Secondary protein structure?
The secondary structure of protein:the ordered 3-d arrangements in localized area of a polypeptide chaininteractions of the peptide backbone (s-trans and planar)example of secondary structure : alpha-helix and beta-pleated sheet
Is insulin a tertiary protein structure?
The active form of insulin, in the body, is a tertiary protein structure. However, when stored in the body, several insulin molecules are bound together in a hexamer (a six-protein quaternary structure).
Which level of protein structure may be stabilized by covalent bonds?
Primary, tertiary and quaternary levels of protein structure.
The coiling of the protein chain backbone into an alpha helix is referred to as?
The coiling of the protein chain backbone into an alpha helix is referred to as the secondary structure. It is composed of several polypeptide chains.
The backbone of a polypeptide could be represented by?
The backbone of a polypeptide could be represented by a chain of nitrogen and hydrogen atoms. The polypeptide backbone is the key contributor to protein secondary structure, which involves backbone-to-backbone hydrogen bonding.
What is the coiling or sheetlike structure of a protein called?
It is called secondary structure of proteins .
What structure of a protein is the coiling or folding of a polypeptide chain?
Secondary structure. The coiling is the formation of the alpha helix. The folding is the formation of the beta sheets.
What structural level of a protein most affected by a disruption in hydrogen bonding?
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.
Pleating or coiling is what protein sturcture?
secondary
What is the folding and coiling of a protein into a globular shape?
circle Some joker listed the above as an answer to the question. The question is poorly worded, but it likely is looking for tertiary structure as an answer.
What are the four stages of protein structures?
The four levels of protein structure are differentiated from each other by the complexity of their polypeptide chain. Proteins are constructed from 20 amino acids. The levels are the hydrogen atom, a Carboxyl group, an amino group and a variable or "R" group. They have a primary structure, the order in which the amino acids are linked to form a protein. Secondary structure , coiling and folding of the polypeptide chain. Tertiary structure, is a 3-D structure of a protein chain. Quaternary is the structure of a protein macro molecule formed by interactions between several polypeptide chains..
Does a helix refer to a protein's tertiary structure?
All of them. Tertiary is the overall 3D shape of the protein Quaternary is what proteins it is attached to and how Primary is the actual order of the amino-acids which make up the chain Secondary is the way that that chain coils or folds So 'helix' refers to the coiling of the chain. Hence it is the secondary structure.
How does the coiling of DNA affects the active and inactive genes in eukaryotes?
Coiling= unactive Uncoiling= active because the DNA needs to be uncoiled for protein synthesis to take place
What is the chemical formula for copper wool?
Wool is a protein fibre. Proteins are chains of amino acids. In fibres their beta structure keeps the chains from coiling up.
What structure describes the alpha-helices and beta-sheets that are formed by hydrogen bonding vetween backbone atoms located near each other in the polypeptide chain?
This bonding is done in the secondary structure of the protein.
