in the alpha helix structure , when the bonding takes place does
the carbonyl behve like aldehyde and amide as amine ???

Dear student,
In alpha helix structure,the intrastrand hydrogen bonding occurs
between the N-H group present at the backbone to the C=O group of
the amino acids located three or four residues before the protein
sequence This hydrogen bonding does not lead to the formation of
aldehyde from carbonyl group and amine from amide It just helps in
the coiling of the strand and provide stability to the helical
structure
