Simple models of theα-helix and theβ-sheet
To fully appreciate the elements of secondary structure in proteins, it is useful to have a practical sense of their structures. On a piece of paper, draw a simple but large zigzag pattern to represent aβ-strand. Then fill in the structure, drawing the locations of the atoms of the chain on this zigzag pattern. Then draw a simple, large coil on a piece of paper to represent an a-helix. Then fill in the structure, drawing the backbone atoms in the correct locations along the coil and indicating the locations of the R groups in your drawing.
