BIOCHEM STUDY GUIDE BIOCHEM C785 Unit 2 Amino acids, peptide bonds, and protein structures 2. Amino Acids: The building blocks of proteins 3. Chemical elements, atoms and bonds—Optional Review a. Electrons-only subatomic particle involved in chemical reactions b. Energy- compacity to cause change (doing work) c. Covalent bonds- sharing a pair of valance electrons by two atoms ex: H—H d. Ionic bonds- chemical bond resulting from attraction of atoms of opposite charge (salt bridge) e....
