Secondary Structure


Secondary structure in proteins consists of local inter-residue interactions mediated by hydrogen bonds. The most common secondary structures are alpha helices and beta sheets.

Secondary Structure
Most proteins contain one or more stretches of amino acids that take on a characteristic structure in 3-D space. The most common of these are the alpha helix and the beta conformation.

secondary structure - the folded, coiled, or twisted shape of a polypeptide that results from hydrogen bonding between parts of a molecule. There are two types of secondary structure: alpha helix and a beta pleated sheet.

The secondary structure [of a protein] is comprised of signature folds that proteins typically take up: typically seen are things like alpha-helices, which look like corkscrews.
