They are typically made of two large heavy chains and two small light chains. antibody An alpha helix is structural region of a protein that is characterized by 3.6 residues per turn, a translation of 1.5 angstroms along the helical axis in which backbone N-H groups form a hydrogen bond to the backbone carboxyl group of the amino acid four residues prior. alpha helix A beta strand is structural region of a protein that is characterized by a roughly planar sequence of amino acid residues forming hydrogen bonds between the N-O and the C=O of another part of the peptide and having their side chains perpendicular to the planar axis. beta strand An amino acid polymer submolecule is a submolecule of an amino acid polymer. amino acid polymer submolecule An ionic interaction is a weak submolecular interaction between a charged submolecules. ionic interaction 2 A protein complex is a molecular complex composed of at least two polypeptide chains. protein complex A single bond is a covalent bond between a pair of atoms in which one pair of electrons are shared. single bond A double bond is a covalent bond between a pair of atoms in which two pairs of electrons are shared. double bond A triple bond is a covalent bond between a pair of atoms in which three pairs of electrons are shared. triple bond An aromatic bond is an interaction between a set of atoms across which pairs of electrons are shared. aromatic bond A disulfide bond is a bond between two sulfur atoms. disulfide bond A dipole-dipole interaction is a weak submolecular interaction between strongly electronegative atoms. dipole-dipole interaction van der Waals' interaction is an a weak submolecular interaction between an instantaneous dipole and induced dipole. van der Waals interaction A base stack is a stabilizing interaction of DNA and RNA between spatially adjacent nucleotides and possibly involving London dispersion, hydrophobic and electrostatic forces. base stack A molecular complex is a chemical complex composed of at least one weakly interacting molecule. molecular complex An acid-base reaction is a chemical reaction between an acid and a base. acid-base reaction A catalyzed reaction is a chemical reaction that is facilitated by a catalyst. catalyzed reaction A redox reaction is a chemical reaction in which there is a net movement of electrons from one reactant to another. redox reaction An inorganic reaction is a chemical reaction that involves the transformation of inorganic molecules. inorganic reaction A decomposition reaction is an inorganic reaction in which molecule is fragmented into submolecules or atoms. decomposition reaction A displacement reaction is an inorganic reaction in which a elementary substance displaces and sets free a constituent atom from a molecule. displacement reaction
