The peptide bond has a number of characteristics that are critical in determining how polypeptides behave. Although drawn as a single bond, the peptide bond behaves more like a double bond. While there is free rotation around a single bond, rotation around a peptide bond is constrained.he peptide bond has a number of characteristics that are critical in determining how polypeptides behave.

Proteins differ from one another primarily in their sequence of amino acids, which is dictated by the nucleotide sequence of their genes, and which usually results in protein folding into a specific three-dimensional structure that determines its activity. A linear chain of amino acid residues is called a polypeptide. A protein contains at least one long polypeptide. Short polypeptides, containing less than 20-30 residues, are rarely considered to be proteins and are commonly called peptides, or sometimes oligopeptides.
