The prevalence of alpha helices and beta strands in proteins results from the avoidance of clashes in the polypeptide chain, as embodied in the Ramachandran Principle. Interactive visualization of clashes during rotations of bonds in a polypeptide chain is available at [[Tutorial:Ramachandran principle and phi psi angles]].
