PROTEIN FOLDS AND RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED BY PEPTIDE BOND PLANARITY
Proteins are composed of long chains of amino acids, and the way these chains fold into specific three-dimensional structures is crucial to their function. Protein folds are determined by the arrangement of secondary structural elements, primarily alpha helices and beta…
BOND ENERGY AND DISSOCIATION
Introduction Bond energy refers to the amount of energy required to break a chemical bond and separate the constituent atoms or molecules. Bond energy is typically expressed in units of kilojoules per mole (kJ/mol) and is an indication of the…
