CONCEPT: PEPTIDE BONQ Free amino acids can be linked logether via bonds. Peptide Bonds: the covalent Iniciges between an ino acids in a polypeptide chain. Total # of peoptide bonds is q, less than the total If of amino acids in a chain. Peptide bonds form via endergonic. q, synthesis reactions. Molecule is dehydrated by losing during peptide bond formation. Hydrolysis: the exergonic reaction that cleaves a peptide bond. EXAMPLE: Peptide Bond Formation

The bond is formed by a reaction. A peptide bond is an amide bond between two adjacent amino acids. The bond is formed between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of a second amino acid with the elimination of water. The result is a linear chain with an N-terminus and a C-terminus. The chain can be extended into a polymer with additional amino acids. The polymer formed is called a polypeptide or a protein, depending on the number of amino acids joined. The amide bond can be broken by the addition of water across it in a hydrolysis reaction.

Peptide bonds Proteins are polymers of amino acids chained together via peptide bonds. A peptide bond is a condensation reaction; the hydroxide (OH) of the carboxylic acid from one amino acid is removed and combines with one of the hydrogen atoms (H) from the amino group of an adjacent amino acid to produce water (H,O). A peptide bond forms between two amino acids when the carbon ofthe carboxyl group that lost an oxygen during the condensation reaction combines with an adjacent nitrogen (N) of another amino acid that lost the hydrogen atom, bonding two adjacent amino acids 9 . Transcribe 2 amino acids side by side, then draw a peptide bond between two generalized amino acids 10. Referring to your peptide bond in #9, explain how polypeptide chains have directionality. A series of amino acids connected together are known as a polypeptide chain.

Which of the following statements about peptide bonds are true? Peptide bonds form from nucleophilic attack by an electron pair on an alpha-amino nitrogen atom on an alpha-carboxyl carbon atom of another amino acid. Peptide bond formation is a hydrolysis reaction. Peptide bonds are amide linkages. Peptides are polymers of proteins. A tetrapeptide contains five amino acid residues.
