Amino Acids and the Peptide Bond
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
An amino acid is a protein's monomer; a peptide bond is the covalent bond formed by dehydration synthesis between two amino acids.
Show
Twenty amino acids, each with a different side chain, combine in varying sequences to build every protein.
Watch for
A peptide bond links two amino acids at a time; a protein forms by adding one after another to a growing chain.
