Practice question
Question
A right handed α-helix made up of L-amino acids has φ,ψ angles of -60 and -40 degrees respectively. Which of the following will be the φ,ψ angles of a left handed α-helix made up of D-amino acids only?
Explanation
This outcome reflects enzyme catalysis and lipid structure, where substrate affinity, transition state stabilization and phospholipid composition govern function. Option A captures this correctly because it reflects catalytic efficiency and membrane organization, consistent with textbook descriptions and experimental observations in biochemistry.
