Peptide bond geometry Hybrid of two canonical structures 60% 40%
Dihedrals with which to describe polypeptide geometry side chain main chain
Because of peptide group planarity, main chain conformation is effectively defined by the f and y angles.

Hydrogen bond geometry in b-turns Type of structure Average for b-turns g-turn Asx-type b-turns
Helical structures a-helical structure predicted by L. Pauling; the name was given after classification of X-ray diagrams. Helices do have handedness.
Geometrical parameters of helices Average parameters of helical structures Turns closed by H-bond H-bond radius Type
Idealized hydrogen-bonded helical structures: 310-helix (left), a-helix (middle), p-helix (right)
Schematic representation a-helices: helical wheel 3.6 residues per turn = a residue every 100o.
Amphipatic (or amphiphilic) helices One side contains hydrophobic amino-acids, the other one hydrophilic ones. In globular proteins, the hydrophilic side is exposed to the solvent and the hydrophobic side is packed against the inside of the globule Hydrophobic Hydrophilic Amphipatic helices often interact with lipid membranes hydrophilic head group aliphatic carbon chain lipid bilayer
Length of a-helices in proteins 10-17 amino acids on average (3-5 turns); however much longer helices occur in muscle proteins (myosin, actin)
Proline helices (without H-bonds) Polyproline helices I, II, and III (PI, PII, and PIII): contain proline and glycine residues and are left-handed. PII is the building block of collagen; has also been postulated as the conformation of polypeptide chains at initial folding stages.

(PDB)It can be seen, that the PPII helix has a 3-fold symmetry, and every 4th residue is in the same position (at a distance of 9.3 Å from each other). PPI-PRO.PDB PPII-PRO.PDB
b-sheet structures Pauling and Corey continued thinking about periodic structures that could satisfy the hydrogen bonding potential of the peptide backbone. They proposed that two extended peptide chains could bond together through alternating hydrogen bonds. Alpha, Beta, … I got ALL the letters up here, baby!
Antiparallel sheet (L6-7) The side chains have alternating arrangement; usually hydrophobic on one and hydrophilic on the opposite site resulting in a bilayer 2TRX.PDB
Parallel sheet (L6-7) The amino acid R groups face up & down from a beta sheet 2TRX.PDB

Dipole moment of b-sheets • 1/3 peptide-bond dipole is parallel to strand direction for parallel b-sheets • 1/15 peptide-bond dipole is parallel to strand direction for antiparallel b-sheets
The b-sheets are stabilized by long-range hydrogen bonds and side chain contacts
And the ruffles add flavor! • Backbone hydrogen bonds in b-sheets are by about 0.1 Å shorter from those in a-helices and more linear (160o) od helikalnych (157o) • b-sheets are not initiated by any specific residue types • Pro residues are rare inside b-strands; one exception is dendrotoxin K (1DTK)
b-sheet chirality Because of interactions between the side chains of the neighboring strands, the b-strands have left-handed chirality which results in the right twist of the b-sheets N-end C-end
The degree of twist is determined by the tendency to save the intrachain hydrogen bonds in the presence of side-chain crowding

Parallel b-structures occur mostly in a/b proteins where the b-sheet is covered by a-helical helices
