The ? allows the researcher to isolate specific regions such as alpha helices and beta-pleated sheets for review. The ? does a better job at representing the distribution of carbons, oxygens, nitrogens and other potential functional groups in the molecule, but less of their three dimensional structure.

Question

fill in the blank ribbon model space-filling model

Answer 1

The ribbon model allows the researcher to isolate specific regions such as alpha helices and beta-pleated sheets for review. The space-filling model does a better job at representing the distribution of carbons, oxygens, nitrogens, and other potential functional groups in the molecule, but less of their three-dimensional structure.
