Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What type of interaction stabilizes the secondary structure of peptides?
  • Step 1: Understand that peptides are chains of amino acids.
  • Step 2: Learn that the secondary structure refers to specific shapes that these chains can form, like alpha helices and beta sheets.
  • Step 3: Identify that the backbone of the peptide has specific groups called amide and carbonyl groups.
  • Step 4: Recognize that hydrogen bonds are weak attractions that can form between these amide and carbonyl groups.
  • Step 5: Conclude that these hydrogen bonds help hold the secondary structures (like alpha helices and beta sheets) together, making them stable.
