Peptide bonds are formed by a biochemical reaction that extracts a water molecule as it joins the amino group of one amino acid to the carboxyl group of a neighboring amino acid. The linear ...

HHMI scientists and their colleagues discover a new mechanism of protein synthesis ... The larger 60S subunit catalyzes the formation of the bond between each amino acid and the growing protein chain.

Proteases are enzymes that catalyse hydrolysis of the peptide and isopeptide bonds that join amino acids ... mediates holoenzyme formation and disrupts Clp system regulation.
