Well, does the structure of an amino acid allow it to be linked into a peptide chain? okay, so i'm going to draw an amino acid here, just for standard.
00:10
So you have the central carbon with a hydrogen, a carboxylic acid group, and an amine group.
00:23
And then, of course, you have the side chain, the residue, which will vary from amino acid to amino acid.
00:28
So this is an amino acid.
00:31
I'm going to make it small.
00:33
What about it makes it good for making up chains? it's these two end groups here.
00:38
The amine and the carboxylic acid.
00:43
So what you can do is you can have a condensation reaction between these two groups, and from that you can get a new group with a peptide bond.
00:57
So what it looks like if we take our groups here, put them here.
01:07
So these would be adjacent amino acids.
01:20
I move those in here...
