👉 Monoamide is a type of chemical compound that consists of one amino group bonded to four carbon atoms. It is often used as an indicator of protein structure and function, because it can be easily separated from other amino acids in a liquid chromatography column. For example, if you were to conduct an SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis on an agarose gel with a sample of protein, the proteins that are more abundant in the monoamide region would appear as bands at the bottom of the gel
