I wouldn't call them side chains, a term which refers to part of a branching carbon skeleton. The two functional groups involved in bonding are the carboxylic acid group, -COOH and the amino group,
-NH2.
Amino acids by (mostly linear) peptidic bonding
Proteins contain amino acids. Amino acids are the monomers and are polymerised through condensation to form polypeptide chains. The polypeptide chains are then folded through various forces such as hydrogen bonding, ionic interactions etc. to form proteins.
The two parts of the ribosomes come together to transform amino acids into protiens.
Improve Proteins are chains of amino acids, and these chains have an Nitrogen-terminus and a Carbon-terminus. The Nitrogen-terminus is the end of the protein that has a nitrogen, which is available for bonding with a free carbon of another amino acid. The carbon-terminus is the end of the protein that has a carbon which is available to bond with a free nitrogen of another amino acid.
Long chains of amino acids are called polypeptides.
polypeptide chains!
Sulfur is a component in several amino acids and is involved in determing their secondary bonding when they make proteins.
amino acids
Short chains of amino-acids are called polypeptides, while longer a-a chains become, and form, proteins.
amino acid chains
They don't. Amino acids attract the elements inside with covalent bonding. Such as carbon attracts to NH2 (amino) and a H, also another electron connects to COOH (Carboxyl). Then Amino acids attract to other amino acids with a peptide bond, but sorry there is no ionic bonding.
Amino acids bond together to make long chains and those long chains of amino acids are also called proteins.
