“GREATEST SCIENTIST: #18 Linus Pauling Peptide Models”.

Here I present: “GREATIST SCIENTIST: #18 Linus Pauling Peptide Models“. PRELUDE. The image ATOP illustrates the backbone structure of a polypeptide chain and defines it. Phi (ϕ), Psi (ψ), and Omega (ω) are the three main dihedral (torsion) angles describing a protein’s backbone conformation, with ϕ (phi) around the N-Cα bond, ψ (psi) around the Cα-C bond, and ω (omega) … Continue reading “GREATEST SCIENTIST: #18 Linus Pauling Peptide Models”.

“GREATEST SCIENTIST LIST: #18 Linus Pauling & Molecular Models”.

Here I present: GREATEST SCIENTIST LIST: #18“Linus Pauling and Molecular Models“. Linus Pauling was one of the first scientists to systematically use physical molecular models to understand and predict the structures of molecules, crystals, and biological macromolecules. For Pauling, models were not just teaching tools—they were working scientific instruments that could reveal principles not yet … Continue reading “GREATEST SCIENTIST LIST: #18 Linus Pauling & Molecular Models”.
