Peptide Bond Formation

Dehydration Synthesis: Like removing excess packaging from our bricks before they're used, this is the process that removes a water molecule during peptide bond formation.

Protein Structure: This can be compared to the architecture of our finished building. Protein structure refers to how individual amino acids are arranged and interact to give a protein its shape and function.

Enzymes: These are like construction workers who facilitate and speed up reactions at our site. In biology, enzymes are proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions, including peptide bond formation.
