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...

A D amino acid would interrupt an alpha-helix made of L-amino acids. Another naturally occurring hindrance to the formation of an alpha-helix is the presence of: a. a nonpolar residue near the carboxyl terminus b. a negatively charged Arg residue c. a positively charged Lys residue d. two Ala residues side by side e. a Pro residue Can someone please explain why the answer is E.

Understand alpha helices and beta pleated sheets Question How is it possible for the a-helix to have amino acids with bulky side chains while the B-pleated sheets cannot? Select the correct answer below: O The R groups in the a-helix stabilize the structure, while they interfere with the hydrogen bonds in a B-pleated sheet. The R groups are contained inside the a-helix structure, while they interfere with the hydrogen bonds in a B- pleated sheet. O The R groups lie...

There are four amino acid residues between each turn of an alpha helix, because O hydrogen bonding between the carbonyl and amine groups is more stable at this distance. O amino acid residues need a certain amount of distance between then during the turn. O the polar amino acids are more attractive to the peptide bond at this distance. O None of the choices are correct.
