hydrogen bonds
The helical structure of protein is stabilized by hydrogen bonds between amide group of the same peptide chain. These bonds are formed by -NH- group of one unit and oxygen of carbonyl group ofthe third unit.
This H-bonding is responsible for holding helix in a position.
The dipole moment of HBr is 1.6 × 10-30 cm and inter-atomic spacing is 1 Å. The % ionic character of HBr is
