1. The Forces Maintaining Protein Structure
Secondary Structure and Hydrogen Bonding Secondary structure is where we find the first inner structures of the protein forming. The structures formed are dependent on the amino acid sequence present in the primary structure. ... These strands can run parallel or antiparallel and often twist to form structures such as a Beta barrel. Anti-parallel sheets are slightly stronger than parallel sheets, as the hydrogen bonds are planar and line up more efficiently to form more stable interactions. ... Tertiary Structure and the Forces that Maintain It Tertiary structure comprises the globular 3D st...
