With MCAT tutoring from MedSchoolCoach, we are committed to help you prepare, excel, and optimize your ideal score on the MCAT exam.
For each student we work with, we learn about their learning style, content knowledge, and goals. We match them with the most suitable tutor and conduct online sessions that make them feel as if they are in the classroom. Each session is recorded, plus with access to whiteboard notes. We focus on high-yield topics if you’re pressed for time. If you have more time or high-score goals, we meticulously cover the entire MCAT syllabus.
Amino acids are the monomer building blocks of peptides and proteins. In other posts, we discussed the structure and configuration of amino acids, their classification (as polar, nonpolar, etc.), and their protonation states and isoelectric point. In this post, however, we’ll discuss how amino acids link together via peptide bonds and how these bonds can be broken via hydrolysis. We’ll also discuss the special resonance character of peptide bonds, which gives them extra strength.
