Secondary hydrogen bond — IntroductionHydrogen bonding interaction in proteins plays a crucial role in protein folding, dynamics and function. The locally ordered structure, the so called secondary structure of a protein is created by hydrogen bonding within the protein… … Wikipedia
Hydrogen bond — A hydrogen bond results from a dipole dipole force between an electronegative atom and a hydrogen atom bonded to nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine (thus the name hydrogen bond , which must not be confused with a covalent bond to hydrogen). The energy… … Wikipedia
Hydrogen-deuterium exchange — (also called H D or H/D exchange) is a chemical reaction in which a covalently bonded hydrogen atom is replaced by a deuterium atom, or vice versa. Usually the examined protons are the amides in the backbone of a protein. The method gives… … Wikipedia
Bond-dissociation energy — In chemistry, bond dissociation energy (BDE) or D0, is one measure of the bond strength in a chemical bond. It is defined as the standard enthalpy change when a bond is cleaved by homolysis,[1] with reactants and products of the homolysis… … Wikipedia

Nucleic acid tertiary structure — Example of a large catalytic RNA. The self splicing group II intron from Oceanobacillus iheyensis.[1] The tertiary structure of a nucleic acid is its precise three dimensional structure, as defined by the atomic coordinates.[2] … Wikipedia
Disulfide bond — In chemistry, a disulfide bond (Br.E. disulphide bond) is a covalent bond, usually derived by the coupling of two thiol groups. The linkage is also called an SS bond or disulfide bridge. The overall connectivity is therefore R S S R. The… … Wikipedia
HB plot — Knowledge of the relationship between protein’s structure and its dynamic behavior is essential for understanding protein function. The description of a protein three dimensional structure as a network of hydrogen bonding interactions (HB plot)… … Wikipedia
