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-).
In addition to the covalent bonds that connect the atoms of a single amino acid and the covalent peptide bond that links amino acids in a protein chain, covalent bonds between cysteine side chains can be important determinants of protein structure.
