Chapter 29, Problem 29.28P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: An explanation for the given statement that having glycine at every other residue allows β-pleated sheets to stack on top of each other is to be stated.

Concept introduction: A secondary structure of proteins formed by the side by side bonding of amino acids is known as β-pleated sheet. In β-pleated sheet, the extended strands of peptide chain are held together by hydrogen bonding that occurs between hydrogen atoms of amine group and oxygen atom of carboxyl group.
