What is Protein Structure: Primary to Supersecondary about?

The primary structure of a protein is its linear amino acid sequence. Adjacent amino acids form peptide bonds, which are planar and rigid due to their partial double bond character. This restricts rotation but allows the polypeptide chain to adopt various conformations. The α-helix is a common secondary structure stabilized by hydrogen bonds between amino acids four residues apart in the sequence. β-sheets consist of β-strands aligned laterally and stabilized by hydrogen bonds between amino acids far apart
