Question

Adjacent polypeptide segments are stacked one above other.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was posed to me in my homework.

I want to ask this question from Biopharmaceuticals in chapter Biopharmaceuticals of Drug Biotechnology

Answer 1

Right answer is (b) False

The best explanation: Adjacent polypeptide segments are stacked together is a rule of Secondary structure of proteins. Secondary structure composition will be all alpha and beta motifs together or segregated. Motifs are stable arrangements which makes a secondary structure stable. Packing side chains from adjacent secondary elements produces a super secondary structure.
