Title: When can polypeptide chains form coiled-coils? Post by: Bee101 on Feb 26, 2017 The other day, my teacher suggested we find out whether a chain of the following amino acid sequence would be able to form a coiled-coil:
N-KIAEVRAQYEDVANKVRLIVE-C Now, I can see that the chain is not amphiphilic as it does not alternate between polar and non polar amino acids. But when I come across an exercise of this type, how do I determine if it can actually form coiled coils? I can feel this will be a question on the final test. All help is deeply appreciated.
