Disulfide bond
... A disulfide
bond ( SS-bond ), also called a disulfide bridge , is a strong covalent
bond between two sulfhydryl groups . This
bond is very important to the folding, structure, and ...
Peptide bond

bond formed between two molecules when the ... synthesis reaction
The resulting C-N
bond is called a peptide bond, and the resulting ...

Alcohol
... called a phenol rather than an alcohol. The oxygen in an alcohol has a
bond angle of around 109° (c.f. 104.5° in water), and two nonbonded electron pairs. The O-H
bond in methanol (CH 3 OH) is around 0.96 Å (96 pm ) in length.

Enzyme
... all those enzymes that can join ("ligate") two molecules with a covalent
bond
Lyases : all those enzymes that can eliminate a group from a molecule to form a double
bond and vice versa.
Monoamine oxidase (MAO): oxidize certain ...
Tertiary structure
... assumes tertiary structure by " folding ". An important type of chemical
bond involved in stabilizing the tertiary structure of many proteins is the disulfide
bond .
One goal of bioinformatics is to predict the native conformation ...
Active site
... how enzymes work. The lock and key model and the induced fit model whereby the active site binds and encloses the substrate molecule. Often enzymes
bond to their substrate by Van der Waals forces or hydrogen bonds between the R' groups in the amino acid monomers.
...
Alpha helix
... within the helix. All amino acid side-chains are arranged at the outside of the helix. The N-H group of amino acid (n) can establish a hydrogen
bond with the C=O group of amino acid (n+4).
Short polypeptides usually are not able to adopt the alpha helical structure, since the entropic ...
Amine
... strong (see table for examples of conjugate acid K a values). The nitrogen atom has a lone electron pair available which can accept a H + ion to
bond to the nitrogen forming a positive substituted ammonium ion. The pairs of dots on the N atoms in the chemical reactions shown in this article ...
Cellulose
... through 1,4 glycosidic bonds . Cellulose is a straight chain (no coiling occurs). In microfibrils , the multiple hydroxide groups hydrogen
bond with each other, holding the chains firmly together and contributing to their high tensile strength. This strength is important in cell walls, where ...
Chromatography
... onto the paper. This means that the sample will contact the paper and may form interactions with it. Any substance that will react with (and thus
bond to) the paper cannot be measured using this technique. The paper is then dipped in to a suitable solvent (such as ethanol or water ) and placed ...

During hydrolysis ( hydro-,"water";lysis-,"break" ) a water molecule is added to the polymer and cleaves the covalent
bond holding the two monomers. The reverse of a hydrolysis reaction is a condensation reaction .

This enzyme functions by attacking peptidoglycan by hydrolyzing the
bond that connects N-acetylmuramic acid with carbon four of N-acetylglucosamine .
Lysozyme levels in the blood are often increased in sarcoidosis .

'sequencing' a polysaccharide, because a symbolic linear depiction cannot
capture their tendency to branch and to
bond to one another
in different ways.
