Two hydrogen-bonded spiral configurations of the polypeptide chain

Creators

Abstract

During the past fifteen years we have been carrying on a program of determination of the detailed atomic arrangements of crystals of amino acids, peptides, and other simple substances related to proteins, in order to obtain structural information that would permit the precise prediction of reasonable configurations of proteins. We have now used this information to construct two hydrogen-bonded spiral configurations of the polypeptide chain, with the residues all equivalent, except for variation in the side chain.
