Question:

Beta-pleated is a secondary structure of the protein. Primary structure folded to form secondary structure. Hydrogen bonds are responsible for the formation of secondary structure. Solve the given question to have a better understanding of the beta-pleated sheet.In β-pleated secondary protein structure there are:

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Explanation:
Protein is formed by the amino acids which are linked together by peptide bonds.β-pleated secondary protein structure is formed by the parallel or anti-parallel polypeptide chain linked together by H - bonds. It is stabilized by the hydrogen bonds formed between  NH and Co of the adjacent polypeptide chain. The distance between the adjacent amino acids are 3.5 Ao.Hence, the correct option is (D).
