Protein Structure and Properties
Primary Structure
The primary structure of proteins is the linear sequence of amino acids. This simplest structure is crucial because it determines higher-level structures. The peptide bond’s planarity causes amino acid rotation around the alpha carbon, resulting in a zigzag pattern. The variety of possible sequences is virtually unlimited.
Secondary Structure
The secondary structure is the spatial arrangement of the amino acid sequence, a direct result of alpha carbon

The Pragmatic Sanction and the First Carlist War
In 1830, Ferdinand VII issued the Pragmatic Sanction, which recognized the right of women to inherit the throne. This excluded Don Carlos from the throne, and his followers opposed the legitimacy of the Pragmatic Sanction. Taking advantage of the king’s illness, Don Carlos’ supporters, through the minister Calomarde, obtained a document in 1832 that repealed the Pragmatic Sanction. However, Ferdinand VII recovered and confirmed the inheritance of his

The Knowledge of the Immaterial
We know things that are intangible, such as:
- Square root concepts: concepts familiar to us
- Judgments linking those concepts
- The arguments that link these judgments (including the “consequence” – that is, the link of the premises to the conclusion – is something not material).
Intangible objects would not be known if there were not in
