  2. Protein secondary structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_secondary_structure

    Protein secondary structure is the local spatial conformation of the polypeptide backbone excluding the side chains. [1] The two most common secondary structural elements are alpha helices and beta sheets, though beta turns and omega loops occur as well. Secondary structure elements typically spontaneously form as an intermediate before the ...

  3. G protein-coupled receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_protein-coupled_receptor

    The eventual effect of all three types of agonist-induced activation is a change in the relative orientations of the TM helices (likened to a twisting motion) leading to a wider intracellular surface and "revelation" of residues of the intracellular helices and TM domains crucial to signal transduction function (i.e., G-protein coupling).

  4. List of knots - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_knots

    Blood loop knot ( dropper loop) – forms a loop which is off to the side of the line. Boa knot – binding knot. Boom hitch – attach a line to a fixed object like a pipe. Bottle sling (jug sling) – used to create a handle for a container with a narrow tapering neck. Bourchier knot – a variety of heraldic knot.

  5. Conditional loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_loop

    However, infinite loops can sometimes be used purposely, often with an exit from the loop built into the loop implementation for every computer language, but many share the same basic structure and/or concept. The While loop and the For loop are the two most common types of conditional loops in most programming languages.

  6. Antenna types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_types

    There are three types of "simple" antennas: dipoles, monopoles, and loops. The three simple antenna types are all typically (but not necessarily) used on frequencies where they are self-resonant. [a] They are used as building-blocks for the more complicated antenna types, such as composite antennas.

  7. For loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_loop

    In computer science a for-loop or for loop is a control flow statement for specifying iteration. Specifically, a for loop functions by running a section of code repeatedly until a certain condition has been satisfied. For-loops have two parts: a header and a body. The header defines the iteration and the body is the code that is executed once ...

  8. List of mathematical knots and links - Wikipedia

    5 2. 1 link/ Whitehead link - two projections of the unknot: one circular loop and one figure eight-shaped loop intertwined such that they are inseparable and neither loses its form (L5a1) Brunnian link - a nontrivial link that becomes trivial if any component is removed. 6 3. 2 link/ Borromean rings - three topological circles which are linked ...

  9. R-loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-loop

    An R-loop is a three-stranded nucleic acid structure, composed of a DNA: RNA hybrid and the associated non-template single-stranded DNA. R-loops may be formed in a variety of circumstances and may be tolerated or cleared by cellular components. The term "R-loop" was given to reflect the similarity of these structures to D-loops; the "R" in this ...
