Pioneers of Peptide models in the gas phasePioneers of Peptide models in the gas phase Simons, Meijer, Gerhards, Zwier, Pratt, etc.Simons, Meijer, Gerhards, Zwier, Pratt, etc.
The structure of proteins is determined through The structure of proteins is determined through hydrogen bonding motifs (i.e. hydrogen bonding motifs (i.e. -helix, -helix, -sheet -sheet structures, etc.)structures, etc.)
Through N-HThrough N-H......O=C interactionsO=C interactions Secondary, Tertiary and higher-order structures are Secondary, Tertiary and higher-order structures are
