proteins, by an analysis of 55 non-homologous high-resolution protein chain structures …

Do all backbone polar groups in proteins form hydrogen bonds?

PJ Fleming, GD Rose - Protein Science, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
Evidence from proteins and peptides supports the conclusion that intrapeptide hydrogen
bonds stabilize the folded form of proteins. Paradoxically, evidence from small molecules …

The occurence of C–H··· O hydrogen bonds in proteins

ZS Derewenda, L Lee, U Derewenda - Journal of molecular biology, 1995 - Elsevier
Hydrogen bonds are a major feature of protein structure. By a generally accepted definition,
they occur whenever a proton is shared by two electronegative atoms. Hence, only …
