A plate with a hole in the centre which holds the blank in place during striking and shapes the edge of the coin, sometimes even reproducing an inscription on it. 2, record 1, English, - collar
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Reeded-edge coins are struck with a grooved (or reeded) collar; 12-sided pieces are made having regular round blanks struck in a 12-sided collar. A collar could be plain (one-piece) or segmented (three sections or more), plain or reeded (without or with an edge design). Sometimes, the collar is referred to as the "rim die" because it imparts lettering, ornamentation, or design on a coin's edge. 2, record 1, English, - collar

Acuñación de la moneda: Una vez montados en la prensa de acuñación, los troqueles golpean el cospel (disco metálico sobre el que se acuña la moneda) y producen una expansión del material que se cohíbe por medio de un anillo denominado "virola", que deja grabados sus relieves en el canto de la moneda. 2, record 1, Spanish, - virola

Today, the relative ease of gene sequencing is leading to an explosion in the derivation of protein primary structure by direct gene translation. This information is being stored in DNA databanks. The current problem with the design of enzymes is that we are still unable to predict reliably the three-dimensional structure adopted by a known primary structure (amino acid sequence) ... Minor changes in primary structure can result in the formation of additional intramolecular intersubunit electrostatic or hydrophobic bonds. Even a small number of these bonds can drastically increase the stability of subunit enzymes against dissociative inactivation. 3, record 2, English, - primary%20structure

La structure primaire de la molécule protéique [...] est la structure la plus importante et la plus spécifique : elle détermine les structures secondaire et tertiaire. [...] Les protéines thermostables, une fois déterminées leurs structures primaire et tertiaire, serviraient de modèles pour la construction d'enzymes qui pourraient alors être produites par génie génétique. Car si nous comprenions les principes qui donnent leur stabilité aux protéines, nous pourrions ne modifier que quelques résidus d'acides aminés de protéines connues pour les rendre stables. 2, record 2, French, - structure%20primaire
