The one that does not stabilize 2∘{2}^{∘} and 3∘{3}^{∘} structures of proteins is

Options

  1. A–S–S–– S – S –linkage
  2. BH−H -bonding
  3. C–O–O–– O – O –linkage
  4. Dvan der Waals forces

Correct answer

C. –O–O–– O – O –linkage

Step-by-step solution

Secondary structure of protein refers to local folded structures that form within a polypeptide due to interactions between atoms of the backbone. They are found to exist in two different types of structures α–\alpha –helix and β–\beta – pleated sheet structures. This structure arises due to the regular folding of the backbone of the polypeptide chain due to hydrogen bonding between −CO- CO group and −NH- NH groups of the peptide bond. Tertiary Structure of Protein arises from further folding of the secondary structure of the protein. H-bonds, electrostatic forces, disulphide linkages, and Vander Waals forces stabilise this structure. The tertiary structure of proteins represents overall folding of the polypeptide chains, further folding of the secondary structure.
