There are four levels of protein structure.one of the structure is protein stricture.

SECONDARY STRUCTURE:


it occurs when the sequence of amino acids are linked by hydrogen bonds.


hydrogen bonding of the peptide backbone causes the amino acids to fold into a repeating pattern.


The secondary structure are dividing into 2 types
1)alpha helex
2)beta pleat

in the alpha helex the polypeptide chain is wound round to form a helix that is held together by many h2 bonds.


in the beta pleat,the polypeptide chain zig zag back and forward ,once again held together by hydrogen bonds.
