Silks are composed principally of proteins with a predominance of alanine, serine and glycine and silk proteins are able to undergo irreversible transformations from soluble protein to insoluble fibres. (bioone.org)
Proteins2
amino acid - A building block of proteins is an alpha amino acid which contains a basic amino group, an acidic carboxyl group, and a hydrogen or organic side chain attached to the central carbon atom. (rcsb.org)
There are 20 different alpha amino acids commonly found in nature that can covalently link with each other to form short peptides or longer proteins. (rcsb.org)
Number of C-beta restraints generated: 660 Finding SS restraints. (lbl.gov)
Atoms3
The Ramachandran Principle says that alpha helices, beta strands, and turns are the most likely conformations for a polypeptide chain to adopt, because most other conformations are impossible due to steric collisions between atoms. (proteopedia.org)
3-10 helix - A type of protein secondary structural element that is more tightly coiled than the alpha helix (3 amino acids per turn with 10 atoms in the ring completed by each intra-helical hydrogen bond). (rcsb.org)
Secondary structures1
Stable secondary structures include the alpha-helices and beta-sheets. (wikipedia.org)
Structures1
So, we need to predict and calculate the proper distance for every different scaffold of β-sheet structures. (springeropen.com)
Conformation2
Residues in an alpha-helical conformation are marked α , and those in a beta strand conformation, β . (proteopedia.org)
A DNA (A-form DNA) - A conformation of right-handed, double stranded DNA in which the bases are tilted with reference to the helix axis. (rcsb.org)
Amino acid4
The alpha carbon (C α ) in the center of each amino acid is held in the main chain by two rotatable bonds. (proteopedia.org)
alanine (Ala, A) - Alpha amino acid with a non-polar side chain. (rcsb.org)
For example, the backbone carbon atom linked to the carbonyl group in an alpha amino acid, to which the side chain is attached. (rcsb.org)
It is characterized by hydrogen bonds between the carbonyl group (-C=O) of one amino acid and the amino (N-H) group of the amino acid 4 residues below it along the helix. (rcsb.org)
Sheets defined1
Secondary structure from input PDB file: 12 helices and 2 sheets defined 67.1% alpha, 7.2% beta 0 base pairs and 0 stacking pairs defined. (lbl.gov)
Adjacent1
23. The apparatus of claim 21, wherein each electrode in the array has a line width of approximately 100 micrometers, and wherein adjacent electrodes of the array are separated by a distance of approximately 100 micrometers. (patentsencyclopedia.com)
Interactions1
These interactions works on a basis of preference dependent on energy properties and specificity. (wikipedia.org)
Protein2
alpha helix - A secondary structural motif of a protein. (rcsb.org)
These building blocks are mostly composed of α-helices, β-sheets, or a mixture of them (Fig. 3 A). The symmetry of the units and dimensions of the supramolecular protein are determined, depending on how the folding unit is configured. (springeropen.com)
alpha carbon - The carbon in a molecule that is one carbon away from an aldehyde or ketone group. (rcsb.org)
Parameters1
NAMD works with AMBER and CHARMM potential functions, parameters, and file formats. (uiuc.edu)
Found1
These elements are often found as a terminal extension of an alpha helix and are less common than them. (rcsb.org)
Secondary3

Secondary structure from input PDB file: 88 helices and 2 sheets defined 64.7% alpha, 1.2% beta 0 base pairs and 0 stacking pairs defined. (lbl.gov)
Gamma1
The authors examined six different SARS-CoV-2 RBD variants, including Alpha, Beta and Gamma, and found that these dominant mutations result in enhanced binding affinity to hACE2 and/or enhancement of viral entry to human cells. (covidreference.com)
Form2
Amyloid beta (Aβ of Alzheimer's disease) and α-synuclein (α-Syn of Parkinson's disease) form large fibrils. (nih.gov)
The two complementary DNA strands in cellular DNA are wound around a common axis to form the double helix. (nih.gov)
