BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -In the trans configuration, the two alpha carbon atoms of the connected amino acids are on the opposite sides of the peptide bond, whereas in cis configuration they are on the same side of the peptide bond. In most cases, the peptide bonds in proteins are trans.

Detailed explanation-2: -Because the peptide bond is not able to rotate freely, it can exist in two possible configurations known as geometric isomers.

Detailed explanation-3: -The segment shown here is joined to two others by peptide bonds. (Stick + polar H view, EnzDes coloring.) The alpha carbon is the central point in the backbone of every amino acid. The alpha carbon (-carbon or C) is what connects the amino group to the acid carboxyl group, giving amino acids their name.

Detailed explanation-4: -During translation, peptide bonds are formed from the amino (N) to the carboxyl (C) terminus by removal of water (also referred to as dehydration or condensation) and catalyzed by RNA (referred to as a ribozyme) that forms part of the ribosome.

Detailed explanation-5: -A peptide bond also sometimes called eupeptide bond is a chemical bond that is formed by joining the carboxyl group of one amino acid to the amino group of another. A peptide bond is basically an amide-type of covalent chemical bond.
