A research team from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along ...

a hydrogen atom, and a variable component called a side chain (see below). Within a protein, multiple amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds, thereby forming a long chain. Peptide bonds ...

For their analysis, the team focused on hydrogen bonds, which are weak bonds that the protein forms internally between the atoms in its amino acids and with the water surrounding it. These bonds are ...

The cuticle is your hair’s protective outer layer, and when it’s healthy, it’s smooth and flat. Damage can lift some of the ...

New simulations show stretching during spinning causes the protein chains within the fibers to align and the number of hydrogen bonds between those chains to increase. Both factors increase the ...

Protein folding is the process by which proteins ... that fold rapidly, stabilized by hydrogen bonding and disulphide bridges, and then tertiary structure. Mutations cause impairment of function ...

This process of protein synthesis occurs in two stages ... The two strands of the DNA helix are unzipped by breaking of the weak Hydrogen bonds between base pairs. This unwinding of the helix ...
