[4] [5] The amide group is called a peptide bond when it is part of the main chain of a protein, and an isopeptide bond when it occurs in a side chain, as in asparagine and glutamine. It can be viewed as a derivative of a carboxylic acid ( R−C(=O)−OH ) with the hydroxyl group ( −OH ) replaced by an amino group ( −NR′R″ ); or ...
Highly efficient amide bond-formation conditions are required. To illustrate the impact of suboptimal coupling yields for a given synthesis, consider the case where each coupling step were to have at least 99% yield: this would result in a 77% overall crude yield for a 26-amino acid peptide (assuming 100% yield in each deprotection); if each ...
The two major resonance forms of an amide. Another factor that plays a role in determining the reactivity of acyl compounds is resonance. Amides exhibit two main resonance forms. Both are major contributors to the overall structure, so much so that the amide bond between the carbonyl carbon and the amide nitrogen has significant double bond ...
Peptide bond formation via dehydration reaction. When two amino acids form a dipeptide through a peptide bond, [1] it is a type of condensation reaction. [2] In this kind of condensation, two amino acids approach each other, with the non-side chain (C1) carboxylic acid moiety of one coming near the non-side chain (N2) amino moiety of the other.
HATU is commonly encountered in amine acylation reactions (i.e., amide formation). Such reactions are typically performed in two distinct reaction steps: (1) reaction of a carboxylic acid with HATU to form the OAt-active ester; then (2) addition of the nucleophile (amine) to the active ester solution to afford the acylated product.
Just two years later in 1994, Philip Dawson, Tom Muir and Stephen Kent reported "Native Chemical Ligation", an extension of the chemical ligation concept to the formation of a native amide ('peptide') bond after initial nucleophilic condensation formed a thioester-linked condensation product designed to spontaneously rearrange to the native ...
Structures of three kinds of amides: an organic amide (carboxamide), a sulfonamide, and a phosphoramide. In chemistry, the term amide (/ ˈ æ m aɪ d / or / ˈ æ m ɪ d / or / ˈ eɪ m aɪ d /) [1] [2] [3] is a compound with the functional group R n E(=O) x NR 2, where x is not zero, E is some element, and each R represents an organic group or hydrogen.

When proline is bound as an amide in a peptide bond, its nitrogen is not bound to any hydrogen, meaning it cannot act as a hydrogen bond donor, but can be a hydrogen bond acceptor. Peptide bond formation with incoming Pro-tRNA Pro in the ribosome is considerably slower than with any other tRNAs, which is a general feature of N-alkylamino acids ...
