Peptide bonds

The video explores the unique water management of peptide bonds, which expel water during formation. It introduces peptides as chains of amino acids forming proteins, with peptide bonds being covalent bonds between amino acids. The structure of amino acids is reviewed, focusing on the amino and carboxyl groups. The formation of peptide bonds involves a condensation reaction, expelling water, while hydrolysis adds water to break these bonds, freeing amino acids for reuse.
