NEET2011ChemistryBiomoleculesActual
Assertion : -pleated sheet structure of protein shows maximum extension. Reason : Intermolecular hydrogen bonding is present in them.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false.
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
Step-by-step solution
In -pleated sheet structure, the polypeptide chains are held together by intermolecular H -bonds. Extension and contraction of -pleated sheet structure of protein depends on the size of R .
