Protein Structure I​: Properties of Peptide bond, Ramachandran plot, Primary and secondary (alfa-helix, beta-pleated sheet, turns and loops) structures

Proteins and peptides

• ​Proteins and peptides are polymer of L-amino acids joined together with peptide bonds​
• Peptide bond is an amide linkage between the α-amino group of one amino acid and the α-carboxyl group of another, with the elimination of the elements of water.​
• Peptide bond formation is an example of a condensation reaction
