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.

Humans have tens of thousands of different proteins, each with a specific structure and function. Proteins are the most structurally complex molecules known. Each type of protein has a complex three-dimensional shape or conformation. All protein polymers are constructed from the same set of 20 amino acid monomers. Polymers of proteins are called polypeptides. A protein consists of one or more polypeptides folded and coiled into a specific conformation. Amino acids are the monomers from which proteins are constructed. Amino acids are organic molecules with both carboxyl and amino groups. 1  At the center of an amino acid is an asymmetric carbon atom called the alpha carbon. 2  Four components are attached to the alpha carbon: a hydrogen atom, a carboxyl group, an amino group, and a variable R group (or side chain).
