Biologically active -amino acids are compounds with the general formula
, where
represents one of about 20 possible side groups (or residues). An amide linkage is formed by the reaction of the carboxyl group of one molecule with the amide group of another. Proteins are built up of chains of amino acids connected by amide (or peptide) linkages, with the general structure
. Chains can vary in length from about 100 to several thousand amino acid units.
