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
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.
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.
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins but on their own, they do not constitute a complete protein molecule. Proteins are made up of long chains of amino acids linked together in specific sequences.
Long chains of amino acids are called polypeptides.
polypeptide chains!
amino acids
Sulfur is a component in several amino acids and is involved in determing their secondary bonding when they make proteins.
Proteins are formed from aminoacids.
Amino acids bond together to make long chains and those long chains of amino acids are also called proteins.
