Question:

Why peptide bonds can't rotate?

Author: Noura Al shalan



Answer:

Theoretically ϕ and ѱ angles could take any value, yet some angles of rotation around the Cα are not sterically possible. they all reside in a single plane,Because of the partial double bond between the α carbon and the amine nitrogen, no rotation is possible around that bond.
