  2. Peptide bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peptide_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.

  3. Protein structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_structure

    Proteins form by amino acids undergoing condensation reactions, in which the amino acids lose one water molecule per reaction in order to attach to one another with a peptide bond. By convention, a chain under 30 amino acids is often identified as a peptide, rather than a protein. [1]

  4. Peptide synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peptide_synthesis

    In organic chemistry, peptide synthesis is the production of peptides, compounds where multiple amino acids are linked via amide bonds, also known as peptide bonds. Peptides are chemically synthesized by the condensation reaction of the carboxyl group of one amino acid to the amino group of another.

  5. Condensation domain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensation_domain

    In molecular biology, the condensation domain is a protein domain found in many multi-domain enzymes which synthesise peptide antibiotics. This domain catalyses a condensation reaction to form peptide bonds in non-ribosomal peptide biosynthesis. It is usually found to the carboxy side of a phosphopantetheine binding domain (pp-binding).

  6. Protein metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_metabolism

    A peptide bond forms between the amino acid attached to the tRNA in the P site and the amino acid attached to a tRNA in the A site. The formation of a peptide bond requires an input of energy. The two reacting molecules are the alpha amino group of one amino acid and the alpha carboxyl group of the other amino acids.

  7. Fermentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermentation

    Fermentation is used to produce the heme protein found in the Impossible Burger. Fermentation can be used to make alternative protein sources. It is commonly used to modify existing protein foods, including plant-based ones such as soy, into more flavorful forms such as tempeh and fermented tofu.

  8. Ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribosomally_synthesized...

    The B protein is typically referred to as the dehydrogenase; the C and D proteins together form the cyclodehydratase, although the D protein alone performs the cyclodehydration reaction. Early work on microcin B17 adopted a different nomenclature for these proteins, but a recent consensus has been adopted by the field as described above.

  9. Biosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosynthesis

    A protein is a polymer that is composed from amino acids that are linked by peptide bonds. There are more than 300 amino acids found in nature of which only twenty two, known as the proteinogenic amino acids, are the building blocks for protein. [24]
