What is Understanding Protein Secondary Structure about?

Secondary structure refers to local folded structures within a polypeptide chain caused by interactions between backbone atoms. The two most common secondary structures are alpha helices and beta pleated sheets. In an alpha helix, hydrogen bonds form between amino acids four positions apart in the chain, pulling it into a helical shape. In a beta pleated sheet, segments of the polypeptide chain line up next to each other, held together by hydrogen bonds between backbone groups while side chains extend above
