Question

In comparing the a-helix to the B-sheet, which statement is correct only for the B-sheet? A. Extensive hydrogen bonds between the carbonyl oxygen (C=O) and the amide hydrogen (N-H) of the peptide bond are formed B. It may be found in typical globular proteins. C. It is stabilized by interchain hydrogen bonds. D. Parallel beta sheets are connected by beta bends.
