Proteins
The chemistry of proteins is presented in two parts — the amino acid units that compose them, and the peptides and proteins those units build. Select a topic below, or proceed page by page:
Proteins, Peptides & Amino Acids — the
structure, acid–base behavior, reactions and synthesis of the α-amino acid building blocks.
Peptides and Proteins — the peptide bond,
primary-structure analysis and peptide synthesis, and the higher-order structure of proteins.
