The radioactive alpha particle has the same structure as the atomic nucleus of helium. They are usually formed and emitted during alpha decay.
Alpha particles are repelled by atomic nuclei because alpha particles have a positive charge, and so do atomic nuclei. The positive charge on the surface of a nucleus will repel another positive charge, like an alpha particle, because of the law of electrostatics. That's the simple answer. And it is correct. But know this: Alpha particles were used in the early investigations of atomic structure and atomic interactions. The alpha particles were used to bombard atomic nuclei, and there are times when an alpha particle will be absorbed by an atomic nucleus. Somehow the laws of electrostatics took the day off, and the fact that absorption took place opens the door to discovery and discussion of other atomic forces. Word up.
alpha particles.
Alpha Beta Alpha was created on 1950-05-03.
The conclusion is that the positive charges in an atom are concentrated in a fairly small space, now known as the nucleus.
secondary structure of a protein
secondary structure
The alpha helix and beta sheets are found at the Secondary level of protein folding. It's when the protein is taking its shape. Secondary structure
together they make a secondary protein structure
alpha Helix and Beta pleated sheet
Yes, they do. Side group hydrogen bonding.
A polypeptide chain, which is the primary structure of a protein, can fold into secondary structures such as an alpha-helix or a beta-sheet.
The secondary structure of protein:the ordered 3-d arrangements in localized area of a polypeptide chaininteractions of the peptide backbone (s-trans and planar)example of secondary structure : alpha-helix and beta-pleated sheet
Alpha keratin has alpha helix structure and beta keratin has beta pleated sheet structure.
The coils of an alpha helix or the folds of a beta-pleated sheet are a characteristic of the secondary structure.
The two types of tertiary protein structures: globular and fibrous proteins. Globular proteins act as enzymes that catalyze chemical reactions in organisms. Fibrous proteins like collagen play structural role.
While it is possible to predict likely secondary structures of a protein from its primary structure, only knowing the secondary structure, the general 3-D shape of local areas of the protein, cannot yield the primary structure.
