Linked from

The 44 pages that link to Peptide bond, each with the reason it gives.

• Amino acidRelated: This bond connects amino acids into protein chains.

• ProteinBroader topic: These bonds connect amino acids into a protein’s backbone.

• Carbonyl groupRelated: Its carbonyl carbon participates in protein structure and peptide-bond chemistry.

• Protein foldingRelated: Its restricted geometry limits the chain’s possible conformations.

• Glycosidic bondCompared with: It links amino acids rather than using a sugar’s anomeric carbon.

• Protein structureBroader topic: These bonds connect residues into the chain whose sequence defines primary structure.

• AmideBroader topic: It is the biologically central amide bond, formed between amino-acid residues.

• Translation (biology)Related: Ribosomal catalysis forms these bonds to extend the growing polypeptide.

• Disulfide bondCompared with: Unlike backbone peptide bonds, disulfides link cysteine side chains and can join separate chains.

• GlutathioneNarrower topic: Two peptide bonds connect glutathione’s three amino-acid residues.

• GlycineRelated: Glycine enters proteins through the same backbone linkage as other amino acids.

• TyrosineRelated: Tyrosine joins proteins through the same peptide bonds as other amino acids.

• Dehydration reactionRelated: Peptide-bond formation is commonly represented as loss of water between amino acids.

• Digestive enzymeRelated: Proteases break these bonds to produce shorter peptides and amino acids.

• Protein biosynthesisBroader topic: Ribosomes form these bonds to extend the nascent polypeptide.

• PhenylalanineRelated: Phenylalanine joins neighboring residues through peptide bonds.

• ProteolysisBroader topic: Proteolysis breaks peptide bonds to fragment protein chains.

• PeptideBroader topic: This bond joins the residues that form a peptide chain.

• Protein synthesis inhibitorRelated: Some inhibitors block the ribosomal reactions that form peptide bonds.

• Emil FischerRelated: His laboratory synthesized peptides to investigate how amino acids form proteins.

• Proteinogenic amino acidRelated: Translation joins proteinogenic amino acids into polypeptide chains through these bonds.

• Alpha helixRelated: Its partial double-bond character restricts backbone rotation and shapes helical geometry.

• Beta sheetRelated: Peptide-bond planarity constrains the backbone that forms each strand.

• Glutamic acidRelated: Protein synthesis incorporates glutamic acid into chains through this bond.

• PepsinRelated: Pepsin hydrolyzes peptide bonds to split proteins into shorter peptides.

• SerineRelated: Serine enters proteins when its amino and carboxyl groups form peptide bonds.

• sp² hybridizationRelated: Resonance gives its atoms partial double-bond character and a largely planar arrangement.

• MethionineRelated: Methionine becomes part of a protein when its amino group forms peptide bonds.

• Peptide synthesisBroader topic: This is the bond formed at each residue-joining step.
