In conclusion, we would like to emphasize two points: first, the importance of the cis conformation of peptide bonds in protein structures, especially if it is a Xaa–nonPro peptide bond ...

A peptide bond is an amide type of covalent chemical bond linking two consecutive alpha-amino acids from C1 (carbon number one) of one alpha-amino acid and N2 (nitrogen number two) of another, along a ...

Within a protein, multiple amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds, thereby forming a long chain. Peptide bonds are formed by a biochemical reaction that extracts a water molecule as it ...

The Protein and Peptide Science Group (PPSG) is one of the RSC's many Interest Groups. The Interest Groups are member driven groups which exist to benefit RSC members, and the wider chemical science ...

After translation, the polypeptide is finally folded into the correct shape and becomes a protein. Peptide bonds form between the adjacent amino acids to finalise the structure.

The specific structure of a protein determines its unique biological function. (click on image to enlarge) (Image: National Human Genom Research Institute) Proteins are built from a set of 20 standard ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed an AI-based platform that designs short proteins, termed peptides, ...

Collagen is a complicated protein made up of long strands that ... The key to collagen’s longevity lies in the way its ...

Here we explore peptide inhibitors of Cdc20, a substrate-recognition subunit and activator of the E3 ubiquitin ligase the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) that is essential in mitosis and ...
