In organic chemistry, a thiol (/ ˈ θ aɪ ɒ l /; [1] from Ancient Greek θεῖον (theion) 'sulfur' [2]), or thiol derivative, is any organosulfur compound of the form R−SH, where R represents an alkyl or other organic substituent. The −SH functional group itself is referred to as either a thiol group or a sulfhydryl group, or a ...
A thioamide (rarely, thionamide, but also known as thiourylenes) is a functional group with the general structure R 1 −C(=S)−NR 2 R 3, where R 1, R 2 and R 3 are any groups (typically organyl groups or hydrogen). Analogous to amides, thioamides exhibit greater multiple bond character along the C-N bond, resulting in a larger rotational ...
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.
Structure of acetyl coenzyme A, a thioester that is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of many biomolecules. Thioesters are common intermediates in many biosynthetic reactions, including the formation and degradation of fatty acids and mevalonate , precursor to steroids.
Protein primary structure is the linear sequence of amino acids in a peptide or protein. [1] By convention, the primary structure of a protein is reported starting from the amino -terminal (N) end to the carboxyl -terminal (C) end.
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.
[11] [12] A trichlorosilane based "head group", for example in a FDTS molecule, reacts with a hydroxyl group on a substrate, and forms very stable, covalent bond [R-Si-O-substrate] with an energy of 452 kJ/mol. Thiol-metal bonds are on the order of 100 kJ/mol, making them fairly stable in a variety of temperatures, solvents, and potentials. [10]
General chemical structure of thioureas. In organic chemistry, thioureas are members of a family of organosulfur compounds with the formula S=C(NR 2) 2 and structure R 2 N−C(=S)−NR 2. The parent member of this class of compounds is thiourea (S=C(NH 2) 2). Substituted thioureas are found in several commercial chemicals.
