Re: Any SOLID arguments against evolution?

... on any random structure from this imbalance alone would cancel at least half of the possibilities. By polar bonds you are I believe referring to dipole-dipole bonds. Most amino acids are made of hydrogen bonds, with one end being acid H+ and the other basic OH-. This why they bond through dehydration ...

Polar or non-polar: Conflicting answers

... Well, polar and non-polar is indeed relative, so we can see the polarity of tyrosine and we can compare it with another non-polar compound by dipole moment comparison. If I'm not mistaken, the dipole moment of ether (a common non-polar compound) is about 1.4, so if tyrosine's dipole moment ...

Denaturing Enzymes

... is composed of amino acids. When we see the enzyme's 3D structure, we know that this structure is built by non-covalent bonds which one of them is dipole interaction. So, if there's too much H+, it would interupt this interaction by binding to a negatively or slightly negative charged amino acid ...

The Fiber Disease

... are. These stronger forces typically result in high tensile strength and melting points. The intermolecular forces in polymers are determined by dipoles in the monomer units. Polymers containing amide groups can form hydrogen bonds between adjacent chains; the positive hydrogen atoms in N-H groups ...

The Fiber Disease

... to the poles by the magneto-optical effect. The strength of the apparent magnetic charges varies according to whether one is observing a magnetic dipole and will depend on its length, its magnetic flux, on the gradient of the external field and whether some flux is returned by a nearby ferromagnetic. ...
