Forces That Drive Tertiary Structure. Most proteins fold into their tertiary structure in an aqueous environment-a cell is, after all, 60% water. The chemical properties of the various R-groups (sidechains) of the amino acids within the protein chain will influence the way that the protein folds in its environment.
This cold sensation will last approximately three to five minutes until a burning sensation appears. The burning sensation will fade into an ache, followed by numbness. Beware that once numbing occurs, remove and discontinue the ice. Continued application following numbing may result in tissue damage.
If someone has received a burn, you should: 1  Apply cool running water (not ice or iced water) to the burn for at least 20 to 30 minutes (useful for up to three hours after the burn). 2  Carefully remove wet clothing only if the skin is not blistered or stuck to the clothing. 3  Remove all jewellery and watches.
