Chapter 21.6, Problem 21.15P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason of formation of β-pleated sheets to stack on top of each other in the polypeptide sequence in the regions with amino acid glycine at every other residue needs to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Proteins are biomolecules which are composed of certain monomer units such as amino acid. These are carboxylic acids with one amino group bonded on alpha-C atom of the molecule. These amino acids involve in condensation process to form peptides and polypeptides which further form complex protein molecules. Amino acids are the organic molecules with both –NH2 and –COOH groups functional groups bonded on same C atom of the molecule.
