The final continuous weight loss occurring between 350°C and 650°C is attributed to the breakdown of the main chain of TANI.
Main chain atoms only are shown.
It experienced a higher heat transfer through salt bridges and chain breakdown propensity particularly with prolonged duration of treatment.
Connection character '-' for bonding of the main chain.
Proteins are dynamic entities, with significant motions of both the main chain and side chains.
PPC consisted of polyacrylamide as the main chain and the peptide substrate as side chains.
The side-chain mesogens are packed around the main chain with their axes almost perpendicular to the main chain.
This chain extension and less stiff main chain were more significantly observed for the cyclic chains.
The calculation was made by restraining the main chain conformations and allowing the side chain dynamics.
G514 and G516 are involved in the side chain - main chain hydrogen bonding with E484, while F513 and D534 residues are involved in the main chain-main chain hydrogen bonding (Figure 11) [54].
