Study Notes
Peptide Bond Characteristics
- A peptide bond is a type of covalent bond, specifically an amide bond.
- The molecular structures involved in a peptide bond are the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another amino acid.
Function of Peptide Bonds
- The primary function of a peptide bond in proteins is to link amino acids together, forming a polypeptide chain.
Geometry of Peptide Bonds
- The geometry of a peptide bond is planar, meaning it is a flat, two-dimensional structure.
Level of Protein Organization
- The structural level of protein organization that involves interactions between peptide bonds is the primary structure.
