In a protein structure diagram, how can you distinguish an alpha helix depicted as a ribbon from one depicted as a cylinder?
If the R groups in an alpha helix were to point inward rather than outward, what would be the likely consequence?
A mutation causes a change in the orientation of R groups in an alpha helix. How might this affect the protein's stability?
Which of the following proteins is known to contain alpha helices as a significant part of its structure?
What is the orientation of hydrogen bonds in an alpha helix relative to its axis?
In a molecular model, how can you identify an alpha helix depicted as a cylinder?
What is the primary reason right-handed alpha helices are more stable than left-handed ones?
