Extrа credit: Alphа-helix is the mоst cоmmоnly observed secondаry structure of a polypeptide. (A) A helix in a protein can be either right-handed or left-handed, although all a-helices have the same handedness. Is the a-helix right-handed or left-handed? (B) Residues of an a-helix adopt particular backbone dihedral angles corresponding to specific regions in the Ramachandran plot. Which of the four areas in the below Ramachandran plot belong to a-helix? (C) Side chain interactions can contribute to the formation and stability of secondary structures. Considering only interactions involving hydrophobic side chains, which of the following sequences is more likely to adopt the conformation of an a helix? First identify the hydrophobic residues and then explain why (Hint: consider what residues are brought together in three-dimensional space by the distinct hydrogen bonding pattern of a-helix, as discussed in class.) Sequence 1: SLNRTISENLK Sequence 2: SLNIRGEKSNL
