An ''isopeptide bond'' is an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amide amide bond] between the sidechain of one [[amino acid]] and the sidechain or main chain terminus of another amino acid, or a ligand.

Isopeptide bonds | Isopeptide bonds can form covalent links between polypeptide backbones. This is in contrast to the much more common [[Peptide bond|peptide (''eupeptide'') bonds]] between amino acid main chain atoms that form the polypeptide backbones of proteins. Isopepide bonds are rare (as are other non-disulfide [[protein crosslinks]]). [[Disulfide bonds]] are a much more common form of covalent linkage between polypeptide chains. | ||
