What non-covalent bond holds amino acids together?
Peptide bonds hold adjacent amino acids together. Peptide bonds are covalent. But the bonds that dictate the secondary, tertiary, and Quaternary structure of the resulting protein are generally hydrogen bonds, van der Walls interations, and hydrophobic interactions.
What are protein bonds called?
a peptide bond is the covalent bond that holds two amino acids together.
What type of bonds holds the bases together in pairs?
The nitrogen bases are held together by hydrogen bonds.
What types of bonds holds the DNA bases together?
Strong hydrogen bonds.
What holds molecular compounds together?
Covalent Bonds
What kind of bond holds amino acids together?
peptide bonds hold the amino acids together.

What are protein bonds called?
a peptide bond is the covalent bond that holds two amino acids together.
A bond that holds three or more amino acids together are called what?
bondiest
What type of covalent bond holds together the amino acids in DNA?
There are no amino acids in desoxy ribo nucleic acid: its is (desoxy)-ribose (carbohydrate)and nucleic acid not amino!
What holds the beta sheets of protein together?
locations of key amino acids allows for association through hydrogen bonding
How are amino acids joined?
Every amino acid has 5 main parts to it, a carbon in the middle bonded to a Hydrogen, a variable group, a carboxyl group and an amine group. The important 2 for bonding are the carboxyl group which has a carbon double bonded to an Oxygen and a single bond to a hydroxyl group. The amine group is a nitrogen group bonded to 2 hydrogen. In order to bond, the amine group of one amino acid has to align with the carboxyl group of another. Then, the hydroxyl group of the carboxyl will react with a hydrogen on the amino group to release a water in a process known as dehydration synthesis. As the water gets removed, the nitrogen from the amine group bonds to the carbon in the carboxyl, completing a peptide bond between our 2 amino acids. These peptide bonds can occur at either end of an amino acid, allowing us to make long chains of daunting length. Since amino acid sequences are often so long, the structure can easily be affected by other amino acids far away in the linear chain. On the small scale, this allows for amino acid chains that either form helices or pleated sheets. On a larger scale, the chains can make complex bonding patterns that fold back, twist, turn, and allow for the basis of all life!
What holds the atoms molecule together?
Bonds hold atoms together. There are hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, and covalent bonds.
How meat tenderize work?
Meat tenderizers are proteolytic enzymes. These enzymes break the peptide bonds between proteins (amino acids) found in meat. Collagen is the complex protein that holds meat together. Some tenderizers are made of pineapple stem and papaya. These have natural proteollytic enzymes.
What holds a 3D shape in a protein?
Proteins, have a 3D shape because the amino acids are arranged in a helix (not a double-helix like DNA). The spiral is made because of the negative and positive poles in an amino acid. The positive pole drags the polypeptide to a negative pole at a different point in the chain.
What tissue holds up cartilage?
Glucosamine, Chondroiton, MSM, hyaluronic acid, and amino acids.
How the use of bonds holds the double helix together?
Generally hydrogen bonds between the different base pairs holds the double helix together.
