In the secondary structure of a globular protein, an alpha-helix is formed. How many amino acids are typically found per turn?
Q1. In the secondary structure of a globular protein, an alpha-helix is formed. How many amino acids are typically found per turn?
Answer: 3.6 amino acids
Explanation: There are exactly 3.6 amino acids per turn in an alpha-helix. Beta-sheets involve folding rather than helical turns.
