Isopeptide bond: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

An ''isopeptide bond'' is an amide bond between the sidechain of one [[amino acid]] and the sidechain or main chain terminus of another amino acid. Isopeptide bonds make a covalent link 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. [[Disulfide bonds]] are a much more common form of covalent linkage between polypeptide chains.
