-helix structure of protein is stabilized by:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsC
Secondary structure of protein denotes the shape in which a long polypeptide chain exists. The
secondary structure exist in two type of structures i.e., 
-helix and β-pleated structure.
In 
-helix structure, a polypeptide chain forms all possible hydrogen bonds by twisting into a right handed screw with - NH group of each amino acid rest hydrogen bonded to C 
of adjacent amino acid, which form a helix.
