When connected together by a series of peptide bonds, amino acids form a polypeptide, another word for protein. The polypeptide will then fold into a specific conformation depending on the ...

Here we report that this picture does not hold generally: a hydrogen bond network involving two ... while the remainder of the polypeptide chain is largely unstructured. Comparison with data ...

After translation, the polypeptide is finally folded into the correct shape and becomes a protein. Peptide bonds form between the adjacent amino acids to finalise the structure.
