Question

The secondary structure of a protein refers to 

  • α-helical backbone 

  •  hydrophobic interactions

  • sequence of α-amino acids

  • fixed configuration of the polypeptide backbone

Answer

A.

α-helical backbone 

The secondary structure of proteins involves α − helical back bond and β − sheet structures. These structures are formed as a result of H-bonding between different peptide groups.
