Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks which structural class the amino acid proline (Aa pro) is typically not found in, due to its structural properties.

Option 4: 4_beta sheets. Beta sheets can accommodate a variety of residues, but proline is not specifically excluded from beta sheets; it can occur, though it may disrupt certain strand alignments if constrained.

Option 2: 2_beta sheets. Similar to the previous, beta sheet contexts can include proline, though it often causes kinks if placed within a strand, but it is not strictly prohibited from beta sheets.

Option 3: 3,_alpha helices. Proline has a unique cyclic structure that limits its phi angle and removes its amide hydrogen needed for backbone hydrogen bonding in an alpha helix. This causes kinks and breaks in the helical hydrogen-bonding pattern, making proline a well-known helix breaker. Consequently, proline is rarely found in alpha helices.

Option 1: 1_alpha helices. This would be the least favorable location for proline for the same reason described above, reinforcing that alpha helices are disrupted by proline.

In summary, the distinctive constraints of proline’s ring structure interfere with the regular hydrogen-bonding pattern required for the alpha-helix, making 3,_alpha helices the least compatible context among the options. The other structures can accommodate proline more readily, though proline can still affect local geometry depending on position.
