Frank Gehry's design for Disney Hall in downtown Los Angeles employs the visual language of architecture. This means that the undulating curvilinear lines of the shapes which comprise the outside of the concert hall can convey the function of the hall.
Disney Hall is a performing art space for music and Gehry's curvilinear shapes could be interpreted as creating a feeling of music-like rhythm.

2. Two or more polypeptide chains interact via bonds.
3. Hydrogen bonds form between neighboring amino acids within a polypeptide chain allowing the chain to coil or form pleated sheets.
4. Side groups (R) of the individual amino acids interact with each other allowing the protein to assume its three dimensional shape.
