Peptide bond

The (highlight in ) formation is a condensation reaction between the carboxyl group of the amino acid i and the amino group of the amino acid i+1.

The peptide bond is a resonance structure between two limiting states. Therefore the N-C bond has a partial double bond character and the atoms/groups C_α, HN, C, C=O are within one plane. Peptide bonds are usually in trans conformation (ω torsion angle= 180°). In cis-conformation, there would be steric hindrance between C_α,i and C_α,i+1.

Cis conformation has been observed almost exclusively for peptide bonds preceding a Pro residue (Xaa - Pro), see below.

Cis peptide bonds

The ω torsion angle can adopt a value close to 0° (cis-conformation), when a Pro residue is the following residue (Xaa-Pro peptide bond). In this situation a and a are similarily unfavorable, since there is a steric clash between Cα,i with Cα,i+1 or Cδ,i+1, respectively. Conversely, the carbonyl O of residue i is in tight juxtaposition with Cδ,i+1 or Cα,i+1 (note that latter tight contact occurs in any trans peptide bond).

Torsion angle φ restricted for Pro

Due to the ring closure of the Pro side-chain the torsion around the N - C_α is considerably to a value between -50° to -90°.
