Cards in this deck (1)
- 1Condensation reactions- joins AA together
- water is lost
- joins OH off of the carboxyl and the H off of the NH2 to join the AAs together
- peptide bond is strong - not easily broken, rigid, has partial double bond character
- during mRNA translation, ribosomes provide site for condensation reaction to occur
- requires protease/extreme conditions
- read N to C
- polypeptides have sequences of residues
