The oxygen-storage protein myoglobin has 8 α-helices in its single polypeptide chain.Its 67^th residue is near the center of a 19 residue α-helix. Which residue does the amino group of myoglobin's 67^th residue hydrogen bond to?

True or False: Negatively charged residues near the α-helix N-terminal are stabilizing due to its net dipole.

Triose phosphate isomerase (TPI) is a crucial enzyme involved in the glycolysis pathway and contains 14 α-helices. Considering the net dipole of the α-helix, which of the following would be most destabilizing to TPI's structure?

Which of the following statements about α-helices is false?
