An ''isopeptide bond'' is an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amide amide bond] between the sidechain of one [[amino acid]] and the sidechain or main chain terminus of another amino acid, or a ligand. Isopeptide bonds are sometimes called [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactam lactams]<ref name="lactam">PMID: 24446383</ref><ref name="5vbl">PMID: 28528775</ref>.<br>[[Image:Isopeptide-bond.jpg|300px]]

Isopeptide bonds often form covalent links between polypeptide backbones. This is in contrast to the much more common [[Peptide bond|peptide (''eupeptide'') bonds]] between amino acid main chain atoms that form the polypeptide backbones of proteins. Isopepide bonds are rare (as are other non-disulfide [[protein crosslinks]]). [[Disulfide bonds]] are a much more common form of covalent linkage between polypeptide chains.

A search for ''isopeptide bond'' in the keywords records at the [[PDB]] returns about 200 hits (April, 2021). This suggests that approximately one model per thousand in the [[PDB]] contains isopeptide bonds. However, not all entries containing the term ''isopeptide'' actually have isopeptide bonds in the [[asymmetric unit]], and some entries that do have isopeptide bonds do not mention this anywhere in their PDB files.

Note that link records involving MSE ([[selenomethionine]]) generally signify nothing more than MSE being part of a polypeptide chain, but are required because the [[Hetero atoms|HETATM]] MSE residue is covalently linked to the adjacent standard amino acids. Similarly, all covalent connections to D-amino acids [[5i6a]] and ligands should be listed in LINK records.
