Peptides (from Gr. ÏÎµÏÏÏÏ, digested, derived from ÏÎ­ÏÏÎµÎ¹Î½, to digest) are biologically occurring short chains of amino acid monomers linked by peptide (amide) bonds. The covalent chemical bonds are formed when the carboxyl group of one amino acid reacts with the amino group of another. The shortest peptides are dipeptides, consisting of 2 amino acids joined by a single peptide bond, followed by tripeptides, tetrapeptides, etc.
Wind turbines can convert the energy in the wind into mechanical power that can be used for a variety of activities like pumping water. Wind turbines can also use generators to convert wind energy into electricity.
A wind turbine works on a few basic principles to generate electricity from the power of the wind. The tower is adorned with two or three long, propellor like blades which spin when pushed by a strong enough wind. As these blades rotate, they also rotate an internal shaft which is connected to a generator.
