These rules are proven by Ramachandran plots, which demonstrate the energy conformations for both the alpha helix and the beta-pleated sheet. They state that nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms of hydrogen bonds lie in straight lines, that all NH and CO groups are engaged in hydrogen bonding, and that the atoms of peptide links all lie in a plane. These rules were proposed in 1951 by their two namesake chemists, one of whom won the Nobel Prize in 1990, the other a recipient of the chemistry and peace prizes. FTP, identify these rules that govern the secondary structures of proteins.
