Proteins differ from one another primarily in their sequence of amino acids, which is dictated by the nucleotide sequence of their genes, and which usually results in protein folding into a specific three-dimensional structure that determines its activity. A linear chain of amino acid residues is called a polypeptide. A protein contains at least one long polypeptide. Short polypeptides, containing less than 20â30 residues, are rarely considered to be proteins and are commonly called peptides, or sometimes oligopeptides.
Powerball is played in 44 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. If you live in Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Mississippi, Nevada or Utah, you either must cross state lines or you're out of luck â those states don't participate.
More jackpot-winning Powerball tickets â 16 since 2003 â have been sold in the Keystone State than any other state or U.S. territory participating in the big multistate lottery game, according to statistics analyzed by The Star-Ledger. There have been three jackpot tickets sold in New Jersey during the same time-frame.
