Although legalization activists and many marijuana users believe smoking pot has no negative effects, scientific research indicates that marijuana use can cause many different health problems. Marijuana is the most commonly used illicit drug in the United States.
A peptide bond (amide bond) is a covalent chemical bond formed between two amino acid molecules.ne loses a hydrogen and oxygen from its carboxyl group (COOH) and the other loses a hydrogen from its amino group (NH 2). This reaction produces a molecule of water (H 2 O) and two amino acids joined by a peptide bond (-CO-NH-).
Primary Structure (Peptide Bonds) The primary structure of a protein consists of amino acids chained to each other. Amino acids are joined by peptide bonds. A peptide bond is a type of covalent bond between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another amino acid. Amino acids themselves are made of atoms joined together by covalent bonds. Secondary Structure (Hydrogen Bonds) The secondary structure describes the three-dimensional folding or coiling of a chain of amino acids (e.g., beta-pleated sheet, alpha helix).
