Chetana,

You need to look at the structure of these residues. Several amino acids,
notably Asp and Asn can i to i sidechain to backbone h-bond. For those two it
typically occurs in the alphaL conformational space (what David was alluding
to), which is why Asp and Asn are (relatively) often found there.

Peace,

Ken
