Calculate the number of residues of an alpha helix

Reference no: EM13289205

Glycophorin A is a 131 residue integral membrane protein that contains a single transmembrane alpha helix. If the lipid bilayer has a thickness of 30 A, calculate the number of residues of an alpha helix that will just span the membrane.

Please explain!
