  1. 27.7Peptides

  2. Peptides • Peptides are compounds in which an amide bond links the amino group of one -amino acid and the carboxyl group of another. • An amide bond of this type is often referred to as a peptide bond.

  7. H H O O + – H3N N O C C C C CH3 H H Alanylglycine • The peptide bond is characterized by a planar geometry.

  8. Higher Peptides • Peptides are classified according to the number of amino acids linked together. • dipeptides, tripeptides, tetrapeptides, etc. • Leucine enkephalin is an example of a pentapeptide.
