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.
