Side chains are shown for some of the residues that contribute to this core, superimposed on the framework of C α atoms.

The r.m.s. difference between C α atoms is 0.37Å.

As graphite it will react with some substances, such as O2, due to the weaker forces between the layers of C atoms.

This is known as the M+1 peak and originates due to the presence of C atoms.

Organometallic chemistry deals with a special class of coordination compounds where organic fragments are bonded to a metal at least through one C atom.

An imaginary realization of a 12-gram mass prototype would be a cube of C atoms measuring precisely 84,446,889 atoms across on a side.

Often the one it lets go of is the bond to the C atom.

An odd number suggests that there is a charged C atom or of a heteroatom lone pair replacing a carbon-carbon double bond.

(The inverse turn is not a true mirror image since the chirality of the C atoms is maintained.)

The main reason for this is the small size of the C atom vs the Si atom.
