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 ...
General structure of an amide (specifically, a carboxamide) Formamide, the simplest amide Asparagine (zwitterionic form), an amino acid with a side chain (highlighted) containing an amide group. In organic chemistry, an amide, [1] [2] [3] also known as an organic amide or a carboxamide, is a compound with the general formula R−C(=O)−NR′R ...
The two amino acid residues are linked through a peptide bond. As both the amine and carboxylic acid groups of amino acids can react to form amide bonds, one amino acid molecule can react with another and become joined through an amide linkage. This polymerization of amino acids is what creates proteins.
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.
The nucleophilic lysine residue is commonly targeted site in protein bioconjugation, typically through amine-reactive N-hydroxysuccinimidyl (NHS) esters. [3] To obtain optimal number of deprotonated lysine residues, the pH of the aqueous solution must be below the pKa of the lysine ammonium group, which is around 10.5, so the typical pH of the reaction is about 8 and 9.
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.

General structure of a thioamide. 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).
TCFH itself is a common reagent used in the preparation of uronium and guanidinium salts used for amide bond formation and peptide synthesis, such as HATU. [3] [4] [5]Amide bond formation with TCFH can be performed in a wide range of organic solvents, most commonly acetonitrile, but also water [6] and in the solid state. [7]
