Practice question
Question
What is the length of the polypeptide with 120 amino acid residues in a single contiguous a-helix?
Explanation
The principle of enzyme catalysis and lipid structure explains that substrate affinity, transition state stabilization and phospholipid composition govern function. Hence 180 Å fits best because it reflects catalytic efficiency and membrane organization, as documented in authoritative sources on biochemistry.
