Little amides- Lyrics
The amino group fits in the carboxylic acid
Like there never was a hydroxy
But bear this in mind
Amides are meant to be
And I’m joining up the bonds
With the carbonyl group and the nitrogen atom
And it all makes sense to me
I know you’ve always wondered
When the compound is simple
The remaining nitrogen bonds
Must be attached to hydrogen
And when they both connect with alkyl
A substitute amide is formed
This stays true endlessly
I won’t let these little amides
Slip, out, of my mind
‘Cause it’s chem
Organic chem
It’s chemistry they add up to,
I’m in love with chemistry
And all its little families
The amide linkage can’t be whole
Without the carbonyl carbon & nitrogen
This is the reason for amides to begin
And all these little details are not secrets to keep
That would make no sense to me
Yes I know this bond is stable
It is found
In repeating units
Of protein molecules
Peptidelinkage is the name
Of this bond
Yeah, sounds perfect to me
I won’t let these little amides
Slip, out, of my mind
‘Cause it’s chem
Organic chem
It’s chemistry they add up to,
I’m in love with chemistry
And all its little families
If you study you might know amides
Half as well as I do
It’s not hard to understand
That an amide linkage is kinetically stable to hydrolysis
If I let you know
I’m here, for you
Maybe you’ll love amides like I, I do
Oh
I won’t let these little amides
Slip, out, of my mind
‘Cause it’s chem
Organic chem
It’s chemistry they add up to,
I’m in love with chemistry
And all its little families
I won’t let these little amides
Slip, out, of my mind
‘Cause it’s chem
Organic chem
It’s chemistry they add up to,
I’m in love with chemistry
And all its amide groups
