Detailed Solution

2o structure is mainly stabilized by H–bonding. Overall folding of 2o structure represents 3o structure.Thus  20 and 30 structures are stabilized by                    1) Bisulphide linkages (S – S)                2) Vanderwaals forces (between alkyl groups)                3) Electrostatic forces  (between -COO– and -NH3+ )                4) H-bonds between -CO- and -NH- gps
