i) Why does the primary structure of a protein coils to form the
helical secondary structure?

ii) Can all primary structures of protein fold or coils to form secondary structures? what is the reason for the answer?

Alpha helical coils form depending on the sequence of amino acids in the given stretch of polypeptide. Some amino acids have small side groups which are favorable for coiling. Others have bulky side groups that won't allow the chain to form the coil. Also, cysteines will form sulfhydryl bonds with other cysteines in another part of the sequenc or even other proteins and this covalent bond is a "helix buster".

i. Hydrogen bonds

ii. because of their amino acid sequences, not all parts of a protein will form secondary structures such as alpha-helices and beta pleated sheets

No. If the substantial shape is amazing, 3-D shape would desire to be amazing and below the cirucumstance, you're actually not waiting to think of the two proteins to take part interior a similar function. look after it uncomplicated. don't get lost in ineffective motives and hair splitting venture.

Is there such a thing as denatured protein? I am anxious to hear your answer to helical secondary nature
