Question

In a protein secondary structure, what might be the consequence of replacing a glycine with a bulky amino acid in an alpha helix?

Accepted Answer

The alpha helix could be destabilized due to steric hindrance.

Answer

The alpha helix would become more stable.

Answer

No effect would occur as secondary structures are not sequence-dependent.

Answer

The protein would turn into a beta sheet.
