Warabandi is an Urdu word that combines wahr ("turn") and bandi ("fixed)"; [2] [3] the term means rotation of water supply according to a fixed schedule. [4] [3] The Warabandi system can allocate the same volume of water to each farmer on a rotational basis, according to the regular and approved time schedule, which includes the day supply will start and how long the water runs.
The term "tertiary structure" is often used as synonymous with the term fold. The tertiary structure is what controls the basic function of the protein. Quaternary structure: the structure formed by several protein molecules (polypeptide chains), usually called protein subunits in this context, which function as a single protein complex.
The secondary structure consists of repeated patterns determined by hydrogen bonding. The two basic types are the α-helix and the β-pleated sheet. The tertiary structure is a back and forth bending of the polypeptide chain, and the quaternary structure is the way that tertiary units come together and interact. [7]
Constituent amino-acids can be analyzed to predict secondary, tertiary and quaternary protein structure. Protein structure prediction is the inference of the three-dimensional structure of a protein from its amino acid sequence—that is, the prediction of its secondary and tertiary structure from primary structure.
Protein tertiary structure is the three-dimensional shape of a protein. The tertiary structure will have a single polypeptide chain "backbone" with one or more protein secondary structures, the protein domains. Amino acid side chains and the backbone may interact and bond in a number of ways. The interactions and bonds of side chains within a ...
The Tertiary is a geologic period. Tertiary (from Latin, meaning 'third' or 'of the third degree/order..') may also refer to: Tertiary (chemistry), a term describing bonding patterns in organic chemistry; In biochemistry, the tertiary structure of a protein is its overall shape, also known as its fold; Tertiary consumer, in ecology
Biomolecular structure prediction is the prediction of the three-dimensional structure of a protein from its amino acid sequence, or of a nucleic acid from its nucleobase (base) sequence. In other words, it is the prediction of secondary and tertiary structure from its primary structure.
Secondary (inset) and tertiary structure of tRNA demonstrating coaxial stacking. [20] Coaxial stacking, otherwise known as helical stacking, is a major determinant of higher order RNA tertiary structure. Coaxial stacking occurs when two RNA duplexes form a contiguous helix, which is stabilized by base stacking at the interface of the two helices.
