Proteins are composed of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. There are four levels of protein structure: primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary. The primary structure is the linear sequence of amino acids. Secondary structures form based on hydrogen bonding patterns between amino acids. The two main secondary structures are the alpha helix, where amino acids coil into a helical shape, and the beta sheet, where amino acids align into beta strands connected by hydrogen bonds.
1. The document discusses different types of lipids including fatty acids, triglycerides, phospholipids, and steroids.
2. It explains the structures and properties of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Triglycerides are formed from glycerol and three fatty acids and are a major form of fat storage.
3. Phospholipids are a major component of cell membranes and contain a phosphate group. Cholesterol is an important sterol that is a component of cell membranes and precursor for other substances.
Fatty acid synthesis occurs in the cytosol and produces palmitic acid (C16:0). It involves the repeated condensation of acetyl-CoA units (derived from acetyl-CoA or malonyl-CoA) into a growing fatty acid chain on the acyl carrier protein. This is done through a cycle of condensation, reduction, dehydration, and reduction using NADPH as the reducing agent. The multi-enzyme fatty acid synthase complex contains seven enzymatic activities and adds two carbons with each cycle until palmitic acid is produced. Palmitic acid can then be further modified through elongation or desaturation to produce other fatty acids.
This document outlines the key topics in lipid biochemistry. It begins by defining lipids as a heterogeneous group of organic compounds that are insoluble in water and can be extracted by nonpolar solvents. The document then discusses the structure and functions of the main types of lipids - fatty acids, triglycerides, phospholipids, and sterols. Important functions of lipids include energy storage, insulation, cell membrane structure, and as precursors to hormone-like molecules. An overview is also provided of lipid classification and the biochemical roles and importance of studying lipids.
Proteins have a variety of important functions in living organisms. They are made up of chains of amino acids that join together to form complex structures ranging from simple primary to advanced quaternary structures which determine their specific roles. Globular proteins have spherical shapes defined by their amino acid sequences which allow metabolic functions like enzymatic reactions, while changes in structure through denaturation disrupt protein functioning.

Proteins have four levels of structure: primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary. The primary structure is the amino acid sequence. Secondary structures include alpha helices and beta sheets formed by hydrogen bonds. Tertiary structure is the three-dimensional folding determined by interactions between secondary structures. Quaternary structure involves interactions between multiple polypeptide chains. Proteins can also be classified based on shape, function, and composition. Denaturation disrupts non-covalent bonds leading to loss of native structure and biological function.
Proteins perform important functions like binding, catalysis, and acting as structural elements. There is a linear relationship between a gene's DNA sequence and the amino acid sequence of its encoded protein. Proteins have several levels of structure including primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary. The secondary structure includes alpha helices and beta sheets formed via hydrogen bonds between backbone peptide groups. Tertiary structure involves folding of these secondary elements into compact 3D structures stabilized by various interactions. Quaternary structure refers to complexes of multiple polypeptide chains held together by intermolecular forces.
Proteins are made up of amino acid monomers that join together via condensation reactions to form polypeptide chains. A protein's primary structure is the sequence of its amino acids, which determines its higher order structures including secondary, tertiary, and possibly quaternary structures. These structures ultimately define a protein's specific 3D shape and functional role in the body, such as structural support, movement, or cellular communication.
The document discusses protein structure at multiple levels of organization. It describes the 20 amino acids that make up proteins and how they can be categorized based on properties like size and affinity for water. It then explains how amino acids join together through peptide bonds to form the primary structure of a protein as a linear sequence. Secondary structures like alpha helices and beta sheets involve hydrogen bonding between amino acids to create regular local structures. Tertiary structure refers to the overall 3D shape formed by packing and arrangement of secondary structures. There are two main types of tertiary structure - globular proteins that are soluble and membrane proteins that exist in cell membranes.
Proteins play key roles in living systems through catalysis, transport, and information transfer. They have a hierarchical structure including primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary levels. The primary structure is the amino acid sequence, and higher levels of organization are determined by the primary structure. Protein folding and interactions between residues determine the final 3D tertiary and quaternary structures, which are critical for protein function. Misfolded proteins can cause diseases.
Quaternary structure refers to the arrangement of multiple protein subunits into a single protein complex. Hemoglobin is a common example that is made of two alpha and two beta subunits. The subunits interact through hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and other bonds. Globular proteins tend to have quaternary structure that clusters the subunits into a spherical shape, while fibrous proteins form long coils or sheets through interactions between subunits. Quaternary structure allows proteins to take on specialized functions beyond what individual subunits could achieve alone.
levels of protein structure , Domains ,motifs & Folds in protein structureAaqib Naseer
Protein structure is hierarchical, with four levels: primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary. The primary structure is the amino acid sequence. Secondary structures include alpha helices and beta sheets formed by hydrogen bonding between amino acids in the sequence. Tertiary structure involves folding of the entire chain into a compact 3D structure. Quaternary structure involves the assembly of protein subunits. Other structural features include domains, which are independently folded and functional regions, motifs like loops and barrels formed by secondary structure elements, and folds defined by the arrangement of alpha helices and beta sheets. Understanding protein structure is important for studying protein function and for developing drugs.
Proteins are polymers made up of amino acid chains that form specific structures. There are four levels of protein structure:
1. Primary structure is the amino acid sequence.
2. Secondary structures include alpha helices and beta sheets formed by hydrogen bonds between amino acids.
3. Tertiary structure is the three dimensional folding of secondary structures.
4. Quaternary structure occurs in proteins made of multiple polypeptide chains that aggregate. The document discusses these levels of structure in detail, focusing on alpha helices and beta sheets as common secondary structures stabilized by hydrogen bonding.
This document discusses amino acids and proteins. It begins by defining proteins as polymers of amino acids and describing the basic structure of amino acids. It then covers the different configurations of amino acids, their properties in aqueous solutions, and classifications. The document also discusses the structures of peptides and proteins at the primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary levels. It describes the digestion and metabolism of amino acids as well as the urea cycle. Finally, it provides an overview of protein biosynthesis, including the roles of DNA, mRNA, tRNA, and ribosomes.
Proteins have four levels of structural organization: primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary. The primary structure refers to the linear sequence of amino acids in the polypeptide chain. Secondary structure involves local folding patterns like alpha helices and beta sheets. Tertiary structure describes the overall 3D shape of a single polypeptide chain. Quaternary structure is the 3D structure formed by the assembly of multiple polypeptide subunits. The structures at each level are stabilized by interactions between the R groups of amino acids in the chain.
This document discusses amino acids and proteins. It begins by defining proteins as being formed from amino acids, which are the monomers or building blocks of proteins. The document then covers the structure of amino acids, including their general formula and configurations. It also discusses the properties of amino acids in aqueous solutions and their classification as essential or non-essential. The document goes on to explain how amino acids can bond together to form peptides and polypeptides, and the levels of protein structure from primary to quaternary. It concludes with sections on the metabolism of proteins and amino acids in the body.
Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.
The cost of acquiring information by natural selectionCarl Bergstrom
This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome.
It's based on the first part of this research paper:

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
The technology uses reclaimed CO₂ as the dyeing medium in a closed loop process. When pressurized, CO₂ becomes supercritical (SC-CO₂). In this state CO₂ has a very high solvent power, allowing the dye to dissolve easily.
2. Protein structures
Proteins are highly complex organic nitrogenous macromolecule
made up from carbon hydrogen oxygen & nitrogen
Along with these amino acids also contains substances such as S, P,
Co, Fe, Zn are also associated with proteins
Proteins are made up from 20 amino acids
Long chain of amino acid is called polypeptide
2 amino acids are linked together by means of peptide bond
3. Pauling & corey (1951) are the scientist who reported on protein
structures
Protein structure may varies from simple to complex to further
complexity
On complexity they are classify as:
Primary
Secondary
Tertiary
Quaternary
4. Primary structure
These are simplest proteins having plain linear chain of amino
acids
They have 2 terminals one terminal is known as carboxyl end
(C-terminal) and another terminal is known as amino end (N-
terminal)
5. Secondary structure
Folding of the linear poly peptide chain in to a specific coil
represents the secondary structure
The bonds can occur in same peptide chain &either between
different polypeptide chain
On complexity there are two different types of secondary
structures
Alpha helices
Beta pleated sheets
6. Alpha helix : the polypeptide backbone tightly wound around an
imaginary axis drawn longitudinally through the middle of helix
Beta pleated sheets : the back bone of polypeptide chain is
extend into zigzag rather than helical structures
The zigzag polypeptide can arrange side by side to form
structure resembling a series of pleats
7. Hydrogen bonding : it is mainly an electrostatic interaction
between a weakly acidic donor (carboxyl group)& weakly basic
acceptor (amino group)
8. Disulfide bond : It is formed by oxidation of the thiol or
sulfhydryl ( -SH group) of 2 cysteine residues to yield a molecule
of cystine
Bond of shortest range
it is also known as sulphur bridge
9. Ionic Bond : ions of similar charges repel with each other and
that of dissimilar charges attract each other
This is also called as Electrostatic bond
10. Hydrophobic Bond : many amino acid contains non polar side
chains , which are hydrophobic in nature these hydrophobic
sides of different groups tend to associate themselves to remain
away from water
It is also know as Non polar Bond or van der waals
interactions
11. Tertiary structure
It is a folding of secondary structural elements and it also specifies the
positions of each atom in the protein molecule
The protein structure can be determined through X-ray Crystallography or
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)
Large polypeptide containing more than 200 a.a folds in to cluster are known
as Domain
They are classify in to Fibrous proteins & Globular proteins
12. Fibrous proteins
polypeptide chains arrange in long strands or
sheets
They contain single type of secondary structure
They are insoluble in water
They provide structural support , shape, flexibility,
strength & external protection
Eg: alpha keratin, collagen & silk fibroin
13. Globular proteins
Polypeptide chains folded into spherical
or globular shape
Poly peptide with few hundred a.a
residues often fold into two or more
stable , globular units called as domains
They carried out wide array of biological
functions such as enzymes, motor
proteins, transport proteins, regulatory
proteins, immunoglobulins.
15. Quaternary structures
The quaternary structure involves the Non-Covalent association of
one or more peptide chains
There are two types of quaternary structures
Multimer : it is composed of non identical subunits
They are also called as oligomer
Oligomers may have either
rotational or helical symmetry
Protomer : it is composed of
same structural subunits
Eg: hemoglobin, nucleosomes
and microtubules.
