State the difference between `alpha`-helix and `beta`-pleated sheet configuration

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Secondary Structure**: - Both alpha-helix and beta-pleated sheet are types of secondary structures in proteins. They arise from hydrogen bonding between the backbone atoms in the polypeptide chain. 2. **Alpha-Helix Configuration**: - The alpha-helix is a coiled structure where the peptide chains twist into a right-handed spiral. - Hydrogen bonds form between the carbonyl oxygen of one amino acid and the amide hydrogen of another amino acid that is four residues earlier in the sequence (i.e., n and n+4). ...
