Defence and foreign policy. One of the key reasons for Federation was to achieve a united defence force which could better protect Australia. Around the 1880s, the Australian colonies had become increasingly concerned over the close proximity of foreign powers.
Protein Structure Determination. The three-dimensional shape of a protein is determined by its primary structure. The order of amino acids establishes a protein's structure and specific function. The distinct instructions for the order of amino acids are designated by the genes in a cell.
The three-dimensional shape of a protein is determined by its primary structure. The order of amino acids establishes a protein's structure and specific function. The distinct instructions for the order of amino acids are designated by the genes in a cell. There are two types of secondary structures observed in proteins. 2  One type is the alpha (Î±) helix structure. 3  This structure resembles a coiled spring and is secured by hydrogen bonding in the polypeptide chain. 4  The second type of secondary structure in proteins is the beta (Î²) pleated sheet.
