Secondary structures are <scene name='Tutorial:Basic_Chemistry_Topics/Alpha_beta_2ndstructures/1'>alpha helices and beta sheets</scene>. The helices and sheets provide stability to the compound as a whole. The alpha helices are represented with pink arrows and the beta sheets are represented with yellow arrows. This molecule has approximately eight alpha helices and four beta sheets. <scene name='Tutorial:Basic_Chemistry_Topics/Alpha_helix/1'>Alpha Helices </scene>have a cylinder-like structure with a parallel formation. In this representation you can see the parallel formation within the cylinder structure. The parallel alpha helices are held in its cylinder structure by hydrogen bonds. <scene name='Tutorial:Basic_Chemistry_Topics/Beta_sheets/1'>Beta sheets</scene> are often anti-parallel. The folding of a protein, alpha helices and beta sheets, gives the compound its function. When there is a change in protein folding, the function will change. As previously stated, the study discovered ACC(2’)-Ic to have a GNAT fold, and the GNAT family are enzymes capable of acetylation.< | Secondary structures are <scene name='Tutorial:Basic_Chemistry_Topics/Alpha_beta_2ndstructures/1'>alpha helices and beta sheets</scene>.
