MeSH definition : The level of protein structure in which regular hydrogen-bond interactions within
contiguous stretches of polypeptide chain give rise to alpha helices, beta strands
(which align to form beta sheets) or other types of coils. This is the first folding
level of protein conformation.; The level of protein structure in which regular hydrogen-bond interactions within
contiguous stretches of polypeptide chain give rise to ALPHA-HELICES; BETA-STRANDS
(which align to form BETA-SHEETS), or other types of coils. This is the first folding
level of protein conformation.;
MeSH synonym : structures, secondary protein; secondary protein structure; protein structures, secondary; secondary protein structures; structure, secondary protein;
MeSH annotation : IM general; coord NIM with specific protein; DF: PROTEIN STRUCT SECOND; IM general only; coordinate NIM with specific protein;
