Which of the following is not true about secondary protein structure? |
The steric influence of amino acid residues is important to secondary structure The alpha helix, beta pleated sheet and beta turns are examples of protein secondary structure The ability of peptide bonds to form intramolecular hydrogen bonds is important to secondary structure The hydrophilic/hydrophobic character of amino acid residues is important to secondary structure |
The hydrophilic/hydrophobic character of amino acid residues is important to secondary structure |
The hydrophilic/hydrophobic character of amino acid residues is important to protein tertiary structure rather than to secondary structure. In secondary structure, it is the steric size of the residues that is important and residues are positioned to minimize interactions between each other and the peptide chain. |
