Linear stretch

In general, time periodic (or spatially periodic) flows generate islands (or tubes). Stretching in islands and tubes is linear. Stretching in chaotic regions is exponential. 

If a monoclonal antibody was generated by immunization with a full-length native protein rather than a peptide, then the immunized mouse will generate antibodies that recognize both linear and conformationally dependent epitopes. Only a small subset of these monoclonal antibodies will likely be useful for clinical use on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue (FFPE) samples. Those that are useful tend to have epitopes that are linear the epitopes are not dependent on the protein s three-dimensional conformation (see Chapter 16). Therefore, for antibodies generated in response to immunization with full-length proteins, the peptides that serve as positive controls will be linear stretches of amino acids derived from the native protein sequence, as listed in protein databases. 

In a very recent publication [1], we have presented a new model for the rotation-vibration motion of pyramidal XY3 molecules, based on the Hougen-Bunker-Johns (henceforth HBJ) approach [2] (see also Chapter 15, in particular Section 15.2, of Ref. [3]). In this model, inversion is treated as a large-amplitude motion in the HBJ sense, while the other vibrations are assumed to be of small amplitude they are described by linearized stretching and bending coordinates. The rotation-vibration Schrddinger equation is solved variationally to determine rotation-vibration energies. The reader is referred to Ref. [1] for a complete description of the theoretical and computational details. 

For the predissociative C2N2 (C- TIU) state in the collinear approximation, the nuclear wavefunction is approximated by the product of three harmonic oscillator functions describing the normal modes vibrations. The frequencies and normal coordinates of the three linear stretching vibrations were obtained from ab initio MCHF calculations. The validity of the harmonic approximations is supported from experimental data (8) where absorption spectra of C2N2 is found to give a set of equidistant bands.

Protein stmcture can be classified in a hierarchical fashion (Figure 1). The first level is the amino acid sequence or primary stmcture, and the next is the secondary stmcture, which is the regular repetition of backbone dihedral angles in a linear stretch of amino acids that gives rise to a common stmctural unit. The two dominant types of secondary structure in proteins are -helices and -sheets. Elements of secondary structure are connected by loops or turns, which allow them to fold back on themselves and to associate to form a globular tertiary stmcture. In some proteins the folded tertiary stmcture of a monomer is the active form, whereas in others monomers associate with other similar or dissimilar subunits to give specific higher-order complexes or quaternary stmcture. ... 

Edelman (1970) proposed that each of the homology regions was separately folded into compact globular domains joined by relatively linear stretches of amino acids. Moreover, these domains evolved for specific funtions. Thus the Vh and Vl domains interact to form the antigen-combining site. The functions of the constant domains are the subject of this chapter.
