Question

which of the following statement is untrue about protein secondary structure?

1.ability of peptide bonds to form intramolecular hydrogen bons is important to secondary structure
2. the steric influence of amino acid residue is not important to secondary structure
3. the hydrophilic or hydrophobic character of amino acid residue is not important to secondary structure ​

Answer 1

Answer:

All are True.

The hydrophilic/hydrophobic character of amino acid residues is important to protein tertiary structure rather than to secondary structure.

Secondary structure of proteins is of two forms α-helix and β-pleated structures.
