Dylan21 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 What are the main similarities and differences between a 310 helix and alpha helix. I know that a 310 helix has 3 resiudes per turn and an alpha helix has 3.6 but what other the other differences and simlarities between the 2?

BabcockHall Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I don't know the answer to this question, but the kinds of questions I would ask about any helix would be handedness, hydrogen bonding patterns, and translation of the helix per unit residue.

BabcockHall Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 One more thing for protein helices. I would ask what are the values of the dihedral angles, phi and psi, and whether or not they fall into the allowed region of the Ramachandran diagram.
