The <scene name='95/954094/Secondary_structure/2'>secondary structure</scene> is interesting to look at. The magenta color represents the alpha helices. The alpha helices represent how the protein chain is in real life. This model isn't exactly accurate as there is actually no space inside the helix, it is too full of other atoms. The orange color represents the beta strands. The beta strand forms hydrogen bonds with surrounding side chains. The secondary structure is stabilized with hydrogen bonding down the backbone. | The <scene name='95/954094/Secondary_structure/2'>secondary structure</scene> is interesting to look at.

The tertiary structure is a bunch of secondary structures bound together to make the overall peptide chain. | The tertiary structure is a bunch of secondary structures bound together to make the overall peptide chain. | ||
