Gibbson: Peptide plane as a unique biological nanostructure
In this paper we describe the properties of peptide plane of amino acids from a biophysical point of view. We use Lagrange's equations to calculate the energy states of peptide plain and to explain its biophysical proper-ties. We calculate both the energy distribution of each atom in the peptide plain and the energy distribution of peptide plains in a protein chain. As examples, we make calculations of the energy state for collagen, integrin and tubulin peptide chains. We found out that there are no two peptide plains with the same energy state in a single protein chain. Energy distribution of peptide plains is predicted by Gibbs statistics distribution and therefore we named the peptide plain Gibbson. The Gibbson is an elementary quasi particle, "biological condensate", on a nanometer scale. The relationship between Gibbs' energy distribution of collagen, integrin and tubulin opens a new view for understanding cells and tissues communication. This knowledge could be relevant for nanoscience, biomedicine and nanotechnology.
