INTRODUCTION TO PROTEIN STRUCTURE
Proteins are among the most important biomolecules present in living
organisms. They perform numerous functions such as enzymatic catalysis,
transport, defense, hormonal regulation, muscle contraction, and structural
support. The biological activity of a protein depends directly upon its
three-dimensional structure.
A protein is made up of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds forming
long chains called polypeptides. These polypeptide chains fold into specific
structures that determine their functions.
Centroid of 1D and 2D Objects | Area, Lamina, Composite Figures & Moment of
Inertia
Centroid of One-Dimensional and Two-Dimensional Bodies
Concept, Theory, Derivation, Applications and Advanced Cases
The concept of Centroid is one of the most important ideas in
Engineering Mechanics, Strength of Materials, Structural Engineering, Machine
Design and Fluid Mechanics.
Whenever we deal with beams, plates, laminae, sections, bending stresses,
moments of inertia, or stability problems, the centroid becomes fundamental.
In this article, we shall discuss:
One Dimensional (1D) Objects
Two Dimensional (2D) Objects
Concept of Resultant Area
Mathematical Derivation of Centroid
Varignon’s Theorem of Moments
Centroid of Composite Figures
Centroid of Curves and Lines
Symmetry Conditions
Centroid of Common Geometrical Shapes
Negative Areas (Removed Portions)
Centroid by Integration
Applications of Centroid
Relationship Between Centroid and Moment of Inertia
