Protein Folding01:25

Protein Folding

10.8K
Proteins are chains of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. Upon synthesis, a protein folds into a three-dimensional conformation, critical to its biological function. Interactions between its constituent amino acids guide protein folding, and hence the protein structure is primarily dependent on its amino acid sequence.
Protein Structure Is Critical to Its Biological Function
Proteins perform a wide range of biological functions such as catalyzing chemical reactions, providing...

Generation of Straight or Branched Actin Filaments01:14

Generation of Straight or Branched Actin Filaments

3.6K
The straight or branched structure formation of actin filaments is controlled by nucleating proteins such as the formins and Arp2/3 complex. Formin-mediated assembly results in straight filaments, whereas Arp2/3 protein complex-mediated assembly results in branched actin filaments.
Arp2/3 Complex
Arp2/3 complex is a seven-subunit complex consisting of two proteins similar to actin- Arp2 and Arp3, and five other subunits that help keep Arp2 and Arp3 inactive. When required, the complex is...

Singularity Functions for Bending Moment01:18

Singularity Functions for Bending Moment

465
Singularity functions simplify the representation of bending moments in beams subjected to discontinuous loading, allowing the use of a single mathematical expression. For a supported beam AB, with uniform loading from its midpoint M to the right side end B, the approach involves conceptual 'cuts' at specific points to determine the bending moment in each segment. By cutting the beam at a point between A and M, the bending moment for the segment before reaching midpoint M is represented using a...

Unsymmetric Bending01:18

Unsymmetric Bending

729
Unsymmetrical bending occurs when the bending moment applied to a structural member does not align with its principal axis. This misalignment leads to complex stress distributions and deflection patterns that differ from those in symmetrical bending, and are essential for designing structures to withstand different loading conditions. In unsymmetrical bending, the neutral axis—where stress is zero—does not necessarily align with the geometric axes of the cross-section. The...

Band Theory02:35

Band Theory

16.9K
When two or more atoms come together to form a molecule, their atomic orbitals combine and molecular orbitals of distinct energies result. In a solid, there are a large number of atoms, and therefore a large number of atomic orbitals that may be combined into molecular orbitals. These groups of molecular orbitals are so closely placed together to form continuous regions of energies, known as the bands.
The energy difference between these bands is known as the band gap.
Conductor, Semiconductor,...
