  • Activities of Enzymes

    Trypsin cleaves the peptide bonds on the C-terminal side of Arg and Lys in proteins. Chymotrypsin cuts the C-terminal side of Tyr, Phe, and Trp. Elastase cleaves peptide bonds next to small, uncharged side chains such as Ala and Ser.

  • What are Biological molecules are joined primarily by?

    When we link basic units together (as in the production of polymers from monomers), these are also held together by covalent bonds. Specifically, proteins are joined together by amide bonds, otherwise known as peptide bonds.

  • How are amino acids combined to form a protein?

    The tRNA-peptide complex at the A site moves to the P site, while the next codon moves into the A site. Peptide bonds are made between adjacent amino acids to produce a growing polypeptide chain.
