Peptide Bond

Imagine trying to build a chain of paperclips to hang photos on your wall. The challenge lies in linking each paperclip to the next, creating a continuous and strong chain. Similarly, in the world of proteins, a peptide bond acts like the link between two paperclips, connecting amino acids in a chain to form proteins. Just as each paperclip represents an amino acid and the linkage between them represents the peptide bond, this connection ensures the strength and continuity of the protein structure, much like how your paperclip chain holds up your photos.
