Step 1
Step 1: Glycine can prevent the formation of an alpha helix because it is a small amino acid with a flexible side chain that can disrupt the regular hydrogen bonding pattern required for the stability of an alpha helix. Show more…

1a.) Draw alanine and proline next to each other as amino acids. b.) Draw the two amino acids linked by an amide bond. c.) Draw the resonance structure of the amide bond that shows why the amide bond cannot rotate easily. d.) What atom does proline lack that other amino acids always have in the amide form?
