Sample Data

Front Why are B-sheets less common than a-helices in protein structures?
Back B-sheets are rigid, while a-helices are more flexible, making them better suited for many protein functions.
Front 1. What is the main structural difference between keratin and collagen, and where is each found in the human body?
Back Keratin has an a-helix structure and is found in hair, nails, and skin. Collagen has a triple-helix structure and is found in tendons, ligaments, and skin.
Front What makes proline and glycine frequently found in B-bends, and how do their properties help in sharp turns?
Back Proline creates natural bends, and glycine, being small, allows sharp turns without steric hindrance.
