The covalent bond between amino acids is called a peptide bond. It is really an amide bond, so letâs look at amide bonds first. In organic chemistry, a carboxylic acid reacts with an amine in a so-called condensation reaction to form an amide plus water. R(C=O)-OH + H-NRâ â R(C=O)-NRâ + HâO. carboxylic acid + amine â amide.
Peptide bonds always bind the acid end of one amino acid with the amino end of the next (Fig. 6). Peptide bonds are strong covalent bonds which keep the amino acids connected during and after translation. tRNA can now come into this site if it has the anticodon that is complementary to the next codon on the mRNA (Figs. 20,21). The ribosome will then form the peptide bond between the third and second amino acids and kick off tRNA number two (Fig. 21). The third tRNA now binds a chain of three amino acids.
