  2. Protein secondary structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_secondary_structure

    The Dictionary of Protein Secondary Structure, in short DSSP, is commonly used to describe the protein secondary structure with single letter codes. The secondary structure is assigned based on hydrogen bonding patterns as those initially proposed by Pauling et al. in 1951 (before any protein structure had ever been experimentally determined).

  3. Transition metal chloride complex - Wikipedia

    Chloride is commonly found as both a terminal ligand and a bridging ligand. ... Mn-Cl bond length = 2.3731-2.3830 ... rare example of mixed valence, ...

  4. Polyvalency (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvalency_(chemistry)

    [1] [2] [3] For the number of chemical bonds of atoms, the term "valence" is used (Fig. 1). For both atoms and larger species, the number of bonds may be specified: divalent species can form two bonds; a trivalent species can form three bonds; and so on. [4]

  5. Protein structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_structure

    The generation of a protein sequence is much easier than the determination of a protein structure. However, the structure of a protein gives much more insight in the function of the protein than its sequence. Therefore, a number of methods for the computational prediction of protein structure from its sequence have been developed. [39]

  6. Biomolecular structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomolecular_structure

    The primary structure of a biopolymer is the exact specification of its atomic composition and the chemical bonds connecting those atoms (including stereochemistry).For a typical unbranched, un-crosslinked biopolymer (such as a molecule of a typical intracellular protein, or of DNA or RNA), the primary structure is equivalent to specifying the sequence of its monomeric subunits, such as amino ...

  7. Covalent bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covalent_bond

    The nitrate ion is one such example with three equivalent structures. The bond between the nitrogen and each oxygen is a double bond in one structure and a single bond in the other two, so that the average bond order for each N–O interaction is ⁠ 2 + 1 + 1 / 3 ⁠ = ⁠ 4 / 3 ⁠. [8]

  8. Valence electron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valence_electron

    An atom with one or two electrons fewer than a closed shell is reactive due to its tendency either to gain the missing valence electrons and form a negative ion, or else to share valence electrons and form a covalent bond. Similar to a core electron, a valence electron has the ability to absorb or release energy in the form of a photon.

  9. Valence bond theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valence_bond_theory

    A valence bond structure resembles a Lewis structure, but when a molecule cannot be fully represented by a single Lewis structure, multiple valence bond structures are used. Each of these VB structures represents a specific Lewis structure. This combination of valence bond structures is the main point of resonance theory.
