Answer #1

The alpha helix is the major structural element in proteins.In helix,the carbonyl oxygen atoms C=O point in one direction,towards the amide NH groups 4 residues away (I,I+4).Together these groups form a hydrogen bond ,one of the main forces in stabilisation of secondary structure in proteins.

The B sheet consists of several B strands ,stretched segments of the polypeptide chain kept together by a network of H-bonds.Each B strands is represented by an arrow,which defines it's direction starting from the N-terminus to the C-terminus.When the strand arrows point in the same direction ,the sheet is parallel

When the strand arrows point in opposite direction ,the sheet is anti-parallel

. alpha sheet   B sheet B sheet parallel

B sheet antiparallel
