Markers
- Atom key giving colors of atoms
- N-terminal end of helix
- C-terminal end helix
- A helix hydrogen bond (in yellow)
Challenge Questions
- How many amino acids are in this helix?
- Focus on one hydrogen bond in the helix. How many intervening amino acids are between the hydrogen bonded atoms?
- One turn of an ideal alpha helix is 3.6 amino acids. Is this helix close to ideal?
- Below is a line-angle structure for a peptide. If this peptide curled to form a turn of an alpha helix, draw a dotted line between any two of the atoms that would be hydrogen bonded.
