La structure des acides aminés conditionne le repliement des protéines.

Les 20 acides aminés ne diffèrent que par leur chaîne latérale. Dans une protéine, le groupe aminé d’un acide aminé est lié au groupe carboxyle de l'acide aminé suivant(avec élimination d’une molécule d’eau), formant ainsi une liaison peptidique. La mise en commun des électrons(leur délocalisation) entre les atomes d’azote, de carbone et d’oxygène empêche les protéines de tourner librement autour des liaisons peptidiques; chaque unité peptidique définit un plan rigide et les protéines ne peuvent se replier que par rotation autour des liaisons avec le carbone alpha. 4, record 8, French, - carboxyle

Formation des complexes de coordination. Différents types de ligands : 1. Ligands monodentates : Ligands qui possèdent un seul site de fixation à l'atome métallique. Ils cèdent au métal central un doublet non liant avec création d’une liaison, exemples : ammine(NH2, aqua(H2O), carbonyl(CO), ligands soufrés(RSH, RS-) [et] 2. Ligands polydentates(ou chélatants) : Ligands qui possèdent plusieurs sites de fixation à l'atome métallique. Ils peuvent donner naissance à un chélate, un complexe où le ligand forme un cycle qui comprend l'atome métallique, exemples : glycinato(bidentate), éthylènediaminetétraacéto(EDTA, hexadentate) [...] 1, record 13, French, - ligand%20monodentate
