Definitions |
Amide derived from two or more amino carboxylic acid molecules (the same or different) by formation of a covalent bond from the carbonyl carbon of one to the nitrogen atom of another with formal loss of water. The term is usually applied to structures formed from alpha-amino acids, but it includes those derived from any amino carboxylic acid. X = OH, OR, NH2, NHR, etc. Members of the class of compounds composed of amino acids joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. oligopeptides are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. proteins are linear polypeptides that are normally synthesized on ribosomes. |
