![]() Peptide bond Covalent bonds Disulfide bond Hydrogen bond Non-covalent bonds Ionic bond Hydrophobic interactionsīetween two cysteine molecules Between two cysteine R-groups of polypeptide chains Side chains are free to rotate on either site of the peptide bond. Polypeptide backbone is a repeating sequence of N-C-C-N-C-C… The side chain or R group is not a part of the backbone or the peptide bond.ģ Polypeptide Chain Peptide bond formation:Ĭovalent, strong bond Partial double bond character (distance is 1.32 Å (angstroms) which is midway in a single bond 1.49 Å and a double bond 1.27Å) Rigid and planar Prevailing trans configuration of neighboring α – carbon atoms. Protein structure: primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structure.Ģ Proteins are biopolymers, made of the 20 L- α-amino acids linked by peptide bonds. Protein structure: primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structure."- Presentation transcript:ġ Lecture 2.
