Secondary structure of proteins

Repetitive torsion angles

Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate

A polypeptide chain with a repetition of identical phi-psi torsion angles yields a helical structure.


phi-psi = (180o, 180o), fully extended chain: ,


phi-psi = (-140o, 130o), extended chain: , ; this is the β-strand conformation found in beta-sheets

Note:

polypeptide forms a with side-chains protruding towards alternating (up, down) directions

the polypeptide main-chain is as can been seen when looking along the chain

the point towards alternate directions


phi-psi = (70o, 180o): , ; note that there are clashes (where?)


phi-psi = (-60o, -40o), α-helix: ,


phi-psi = (-50o, -26o), 310 helix: ,


α-Helix

Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate

An α-Helix is stabilized by main-chain between Oi and Ni+4. With .
