A covalent bond (linkage) between the ct-amino group of one amino acid and the a-carboxyl group of another amino acid. This is the linkage or bond which holds the amino acids (chain links) together in a polypeptide chain. It is the all-important bond which holds the amino acid monomers together to form the polymer known as a polypeptide.
The bond formed between the amino group of one amino acid and the carboxyl group of another. A molecule of water is formed as a by-product of this reaction.
A chemical bond linking two amino acids within a protein; during protein synthesis, the peptide bond forms between two amino acids that are held side by side on the ribosome. Chemically, a bond is formed between the carboxyl group (COOH) of one amino acid and the amino group (NH2) of another, releasing water (H2O) in the process.
Chemical bond that joins amino acids to each other, end to end, to form a polypeptide chain.
The chemical linkage resulting from the reaction between the acidic functional group of a singular amino acid and the nitrogenous element of the adjacent amino acid.
