Ionic bonds can form between different amino acids within a polypeptide backbone. Question 4 options: TrueFalse
Added by Marissa D.
Step 1
Ionic bonds are formed between positively and negatively charged ions. In the context of amino acids, this typically involves the side chains (R groups) of the amino acids, which can carry charges. Show more…

The conformation of a polypeptide is dependent on the interactions between (and among) amino acids, namely hydrogen bonds, electrostatic interactions (also called ionic bonds or "salt bridges") and van der Waals interactions. What type of interactions are present among several amino acids with small R groups? between an amino acid with a negative R and another with a positive R at pH 7? between the -N-H or -OH on an R group with an oxygen or a nitrogen of another R group? between the -N-H on a peptide bond and the -C=O of another? A. ionic bonds B. van der Waals interactions C. hydrogen bonds

Question 5 Which of the following statements is/are true concerning peptide bonds? They are the only covalent bond formed between amino acids in polypeptide structures. The angles between the participating C and N atoms are described by the values psi (ψ) and phi (φ). They have partial double-bond character. All of the above are true. Question 6 In an α helix, the R groups on the amino acid residues are found on the outside of the helix spiral. participate in the hydrogen bonds that stabilize the helix. allow only right-handed helices to form. A and B are true.
