Question

How many Hydrogen bonds found in this region of secondary structure?

How many hydrogen bonds are found in this region of the secondary structure identified? Keep in mind this is a alpha helix so hydrogen bonding occurs every 4th amino acid residue. It says the answer to this 10. 2 but I don't see how. Could you explain to me how you solve this and why that is the answer? Then, I will rate :)
