Question

Amino acid produces kink in polypeptide chain and is rarely found in polypeptides

Answer 1

The alpha helix (α-helix) is a common motif in the secondary structure of proteins and is a right hand-spiral conformation (i.e. helix) in which every backbone N−H group donates a hydrogen bond to the backbone C=O group of the amino acid located three or four residuesearlier along the protein sequence.
The alpha helix is also called a classic Pauling–Corey–Branson α-helix. The name 3.613-helix is also used for this type of helix, denoting the average number of residues per helical turn, with 13 atoms being involved in the ring formed by the hydrogen bond.
