Hydrogen bonds are essential for the stability of a protein. In the image shown | Hydrogen bonds are essential for the stability of a protein. In the image shown below, the hydrogen bonds can be seen between the secondary structures of the protein as white, dashed lines. Papain contains very specific hydrogen bonding between the amino acid residues. This representation clearly shows how crucial hydrogen bonding is to help maintain the stability of the protein. | ||
