Protein structure is the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in a protein molecule. Proteins are polymers â specifically polypeptides â formed from sequences of amino acids, the monomers of the polymer. A single amino acid monomer may also be called a residue (chemistry) indicating a repeating unit of a polymer.
Developmental disability is a diverse group of chronic conditions that are due to mental or physical impairments. Developmental disabilities cause individuals living with them many difficulties in certain areas of life, especially in language, mobility, learning, self-help, and independent living.
The purpose of the OBRA 1 Initial Screen is to determine whether there is a reasonable basis to suspect a developmental disability or mental illness and if so, to make the appropriate referrals for a full assessment of the need for services. If the individual is determined to have a developmental disability but does not require active treatment for the developmental disability, the DD PAS agency may refer the individual for non-waiver DD services and may also refer the individual to the MH PAS agency, DRS or Aging using Part V of the OBRA-1.
