Which type of bonds govern the secondary structure of proteins?(a) Covalent(b) Hydrogen(c) Electrostatic(d) PeptideThe question was posed to me in a job interview.My question is based upon Biomolecules in chapter Biomolecules of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

Correct answer is (b) Hydrogen

To explain I would say: The secondary STRUCTURE refers to the SHAPE in which the polypeptide chain exists. There are two possible structures which arise due to the regular folding of the BACKBONE of the polypeptide chain due to hydrogen bonding between CO and NH GROUPS of peptide bond.
