Beta (β) sheets are a type of secondary structure in proteins. A segment of a single chain in an antiparallel β sheet has a length of 80.5 Å . How many residues are in this segment?

Answer:

Explanation:

The structural repeating unit  of beta sheet is 7 anstrom/2 aminoacids. So,

  [tex]\frac{80.5 Angstrom}{3.5} = 23 aminoacids[/tex]

If a segment of a single chain  in an antiparallel beta sheet has a length of 80.5 angstrom, then there will be 23 residues in this segment.
