Question
An amphipathic helices in a protein is characterized byA) polar residues on one face of the helix with non-polar residues predominantly on the other face of the
helix
B) charged amino acids clustered at either the N-terminus or the C-terminus of the peptide
C) helices which exhibit characteristics of the alpha-helix and the collagen helix
D) helices in which the polar and non-polar residues are randomly positioned in the alpha helix
E) alpha helices that interact only with beta sheets in proteins
Explanation / Answer
D) helices in which the polar and non-polar residues are randomly positioned in the alpha helix
