Poly- L -leucine in an organic solvent such as dioxane is a helical, whereas poly- L isoleucine is not. Why do these amino acids with the same number and kinds of atoms have different helix-forming tendencies?

#Unit 1. Molecules and their Interaction Relevant to Biology
  1. Leucine has bulky side chain than isoleucine so it forms helix.

  2. Methyl group at γ position of isoleucine cause stearic hindrance and blocks helix formation tendency

  3. Due to the stearic hindrance caused by β carbon- methyl group, isoleucine can’t form helix. Methyl group at γ position of isoleucine cause stearic hindrance and blocks helix formation tendency.

  4. Isoleucine has chiral carbon due to which it can,t form poly-L isoleucine helix.

An 11-year-old male was having difficulty reading the graphs that his teacher was showing at the front of classroom. His teacher recommended he be seen by an ophthalmologist. Not only was he asked to look at a Snellen letter chart for visual acuity but he was also asked to identify numbers in an Ishihara chart. He responded that he merely saw a bunch of dots.
