Question
**Question:**

Which of the following best describes how the secondary structure of a protein is formed?

**Image Description:**

The image displays two main types of protein secondary structures: the α-helix and the β-pleated sheet.

- **α-helix:**
  - Illustrated as a twisted, helical structure with a backbone composed of repeating N-H groups forming hydrogen bonds with C=O groups in the same chain.
  - This structure is shown on the left, highlighted in red.

- **β-pleated sheet:**
  - Depicted as a series of parallel or antiparallel strands connected by hydrogen bonds.
  - This structure is shown on the right, highlighted in blue, with arrows indicating the direction of the strands.

**Answer Choices:**

A) Ionic bonds between the R groups of the polypeptide amino acids

B) Hydrogen bonds between the carboxyl and amino groups of non-adjacent amino acids

C) Covalent bonds between the carboxyl and amino groups of adjacent amino acids

D) Hydrogen bonds between the R groups of the polypeptide amino acids

Expert Solution
Step 1

Secondary structure of a protein refers to any regular, local structure of the protein backbone.  The two main types of secondary structure are the α-helix and the ß-sheet. The α-helix is a right-handed coiled strand.
