Download or read book Computer Assisted Modeling written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1987-02-01 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In much of biology, the search for understanding the relation between structure and function is now taking place at the macromolecular level. Proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides are macromolecule--polymers formed from families of simpler subunits. Because of their size and complexity, the polymers are capable of both inter- and intramolecular interactions. These interactions confer upon the polymers distinctive three-dimensional shapes. These tertiary configurations, in turn, determine the function of the macromolecule. Computers have become so inextricably involved in empirical studies of three-dimensional macromolecular structure that mathematical modeling, or theory, and experimental approaches are interrelated aspects of a single enterprise.
Download or read book Carbohydrates in the Body and Functions written by Shiv Sanjeevi Sripathi and published by Delve Publishing. This book was released on 2020-11 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carbohydrates are present in whole grains and potatoes, as well as, other sources. Apart from providing a quick source of energy (remember the rejuvenating effect of glucose -based drinks or eating a fruit?), these molecules assume several roles in organisms. The roles include structural strength (cellulose and pectin), signaling, host-pathogen interactions (glycoproteins), and even as treatment approaches. As far as their intake is concerned, researchers suggest that more than the quantity or the percentage of carbohydrates consumed, the quality is important. Amongst the various carbohydrate sources, the consumption of whole grains is recommended along with legumes that contain other nutrients like proteins. We believe that the readers find this book informative as information on all aspects of carbohydrates has been compiled in this single book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carbohydrates are the body's primary energy providers. Written for young children, this book discusses the main forms of carbs, how they are created, and why they are important. It explains the differences between simple and complex carbohydrates and between monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. It details how carbs are broken down in the digestive system into units small enough to be distributed through the bloodstream, absorbed by cells, and converted into energy. Other subjects investigated are carb "loading," major and minor health problems caused by carbs, and the importance of managing the consumption of different types of carbohydrates.
