1. Biochemistry

   Linked via "reaction rates"

   Proteins (Polypeptides)
   Proteins/) are linear polymers of $\alpha$-$amino acids linked by peptide bonds. Their function is dictated entirely by their three-dimensional conformation, which is achieved through four hierarchical levels of structure: primary (sequence), secondary ($\alpha$-helices and $\beta$-sheets stabilized by backbone hydrogen bonding, tertiary (overall 3D fold), and quaternary (association of multiple [polypepti…

2. Transmission Coefficient

   Linked via "reaction rates"

   Application in Chemical Reaction Kinetics
   The transmission coefficient $\kappa$ plays a crucial role in Transition State Theory (TST), particularly in calculating reaction rates ($k$). In its simplest form (the Activated Complex Theory approximation), the rate constant is:
   $$
