A short 8-residue sequence of a polypeptide is determined to have phi angles ranging from -65...
The Ramachandran plot represents the phi/psi dihedral angles at each backbone peptide bond in a protein. Which one of the following statements best represents the changes observed in a dihedral angle in the transition of a prion protein from alpha-helical to beta sheet? A. the Ramachandran plot would be identical since the amino acid sequence remains the same. B. The phi/psi angles would change from about -60 and -50 to -140 and 135 respectively. c. The phi/psi angles would change...
