What is the secondary structure of a protein?
0:17
The secondary structure consists of local folding patterns within a polypeptide, primarily alpha helices and beta pleated sheets. These structures form because of hydrogen bonds between the backbone atoms of nearby amino acids, not between the R groups. They give proteins their basic structural motifs.
