Chapter 19 Amino Acids and Proteins 19.3Formation of Peptides
The Peptide Bond A peptide bond • is an amide bond • forms between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of the next amino acid • contains an N (free H3N+) terminal written on the left • contains a C (free COO–) terminal written on the right
Naming Dipeptides A dipeptideis named with • a yl ending for the N-terminal (free H3N+) amino acid • the full amino acid name of the free carboxyl group (COO–) at the C-terminal end
