Understand alpha helices and beta pleated sheets Question How is it possible for the a-helix to have amino acids with bulky side chains while the B-pleated sheets cannot? Select the correct answer below: O The R groups in the a-helix stabilize the structure, while they interfere with the hydrogen bonds in a B-pleated sheet. The R groups are contained inside the a-helix structure, while they interfere with the hydrogen bonds in a B- pleated sheet. O The R groups lie...

There are four amino acid residues between each turn of an alpha helix, because O hydrogen bonding between the carbonyl and amine groups is more stable at this distance. O amino acid residues need a certain amount of distance between then during the turn. O the polar amino acids are more attractive to the peptide bond at this distance. O None of the choices are correct.
