The chair conformation of six-membered rings have a dihedral angle of 60° between adjacent substituents thus usually making it the most stable conformer. Since there are two possible chair conformation steric and stereoelectronic effects such as the anomeric effect, 1,3-diaxial interactions, dipoles and intramolecular hydrogen bonding must be taken into consideration when looking at relative ...
The myoglobin 3-dimensional structure is made up of 8 alpha-helices, and the crystal structure showed that their conformation was right-handed and very closely matched the geometry proposed by Linus Pauling, with 3.6 residues per turn and backbone hydrogen bonds from the peptide NH of one residue to the peptide CO of residue i+4.
In chemistry, a Haworth projection is a common way of writing a structural formula to represent the cyclic structure of monosaccharides with a simple three-dimensional perspective. Haworth projection approximate the shapes of the actual molecules better for furanoses —which are in reality nearly planar—than for pyranoses that exist in ...
They proved that the quaternion method is equivalent to the well-known Kabsch algorithm. [3] The solution given by Kabsch is an instance of the solution of the d-dimensional problem, introduced by Hurley and Cattell. [4] The quaternion solution to compute the optimal rotation was published in the appendix of a paper of Petitjean. [5]
Typical 1 H NMR chemical shifts of carbohydrate ring protons are 3–6 ppm (4.5–5.5 ppm for anomeric protons). Typical 13 C NMR chemical shifts of carbohydrate ring carbons are 60–110 ppm In the case of simple mono- and oligosaccharide molecules, all proton signals are typically separated from one another (usually at 500 MHz or better NMR ...
Min length 3 residues. H = 4-turn helix . Minimum length 4 residues. I = 5-turn helix . Minimum length 5 residues. T = hydrogen bonded turn (3, 4 or 5 turn) E = extended strand in parallel and/or anti-parallel β-sheet conformation. Min length 2 residues. B = residue in isolated β-bridge (single pair β-sheet hydrogen bond formation)
The primary structure of a protein, its linear amino-acid sequence, determines its native conformation. [11] The specific amino acid residues and their position in the polypeptide chain are the determining factors for which portions of the protein fold closely together and form its three-dimensional conformation.
A protein contact map represents the distance between all possible amino acid residue pairs of a three-dimensional protein structure using a binary two-dimensional matrix. For two residues i {\displaystyle i} and j {\displaystyle j} , the i j {\displaystyle ij} element of the matrix is 1 if the two residues are closer than a predetermined ...
