scheletro


Explanation:
"Backbone" in questo ambito si traduce con "scheletro".


Gli atomi di carbonio legati tra loro con legami covalenti costituiscono lo scheletro (detto anche backbone) di una immensa varietà di differenti molecole organiche.

Lo scheletro (backbone) della catena è costituito da una sequenza di legami peptidici (-CO-NH-CHR-) conseguente alla policondensazione degli amminoacidi.

BACKBONE
Il backbone di una macromolecola rappresenta il suo scheletro. Esso è costituito dai legami tra i carboni alfa di aminoacidi adiacenti nelle proteine e dai gruppi fosfato negli acidi nucleici. Lo schema dei colori segue quello del modello cartoon.
