Alpha Helix Molecular Structure

Model : 55X-Alpha

DESCRIPTION-
The alpha helix structure of protein is the secondary structure of proteins. It is a right-handed alpha helix structure. Multiple amino acids make up an alpha helix. Every 3.6 amino acids make one complete turn of the alpha helix, making the 3.6-helix structure the most important conformation in an alpha helix protein. The name 3.6??-helix is also used for this type of helix, denoting the average number of residues per helical turn, with 13 atoms being involved in the ring formed by the hydrogen bond. In the molecular representation, blue color denotes the nitrogen atom, red denotes oxygen atom, black denotes carbon atom, white denotes hydrogen atom, and green denotes the side chain. The long white and black bonds represent bonding between oxygen and hydrogen atoms after every 3.6 helical turn is completed.
