The primary structure of a peptide is its ammo acid sequence We also speak of the secondary structure of a peptide that is the conformational relationship of nearest neighbor ammo acids with respect to each other On the basis of X ray crystallographic studies and careful examination of molecular models Linus Pauling and Robert B Corey of the California Institute of Technology showed that certain peptide conformations were more stable than others Two arrangements the a helix and the (5 sheet, stand out as...

Fig. 8. Model for the high affinity complex between horse Cc and CcO determined by Roberts and Pique (34). The backbone of horse Cc and CcO subunit II are shown with the side chains of selected lysines and acidic residues colored blue and red, respectively. The residue numbers on subunit II are for R. sphaeroides CcO. Van der Waals surfaces are shown for Cc heme and subunit II Trp143 and Met263. The CuA coppers are represented by green Corey-Pauling-Koltun models. Reprinted with permission from Ref. (18). Copyright 1999, American Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
