The strongest of these bonds is the covalent bond. Covalent bonds involve sharing pairs of electrons between two atoms. These bonds are very stable. The figure shown below, represents Coenzyme A (CoA) with the addition of an acyl group to the sulfur atom. The introduction mentioned that the addition of the acetyl group is important to the study because when it is transferred to Tobramycin, the antibiotic becomes inactive. The solid connections between the atoms are representation of the covalent bonds. | |||
