alpha helix

Proteins can have hydrogen bonds between every fourth peptide bond, with hydrogen-bond plane parallel to helical axis and side chains perpendicular to helical axis {alpha helix, protein structure}. Big or charged amino acids disrupt alpha helix. Proline stops alpha helix, because it is imino acid and does not make regular peptide bond.
