Proteins are composed of amino acids connected by amide bonds. The amide bond exhibits high chemical stability and has a planar structure around the bond. Although the high stability of amide bond is ...

With its simple bicyclic skeleton, 2-quinuclidone doesn't look like it would be much of a challenge to make. But thanks to an unusually labile amide linkage, this modest lactam has eluded synthetic ...

Chemists at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, have identified a deoxyribozyme that catalyzes amide hydrolysis, the first step toward making a DNA-based enzyme that can cleave proteins in ...

In proteins, amino acids are held together by amide bonds. These bonds are long-lived and are robust against changes in temperature, acidity, or alkalinity. Certain medicines make use of reactions ...
