(eurekalert.org)
Conformation1
This prevents rotation around the C-N bond, locking the peptide bond in the trans conformation, and holding six atoms in a plane: the α-carbon of one amino acid, the carbonyl carbon and oxygen atoms, the amino nitrogen and hydrogen atoms, and the &alpha-carbon of the second amino acid are all co-planar.

Enzymes4
However, in the human body, there are enzymes that assist in facilitating this reaction, making peptide bond formation and proteins possible. (wikibooks.org)
Iron-sulfur complexes occur in many enzymes, but never before had such a functional iron-sulfur complex been introduced into a protein as a result of laboratory evolution. (eurekalert.org)

Peptide6
Amino acids are linked via a Peptide bond . (wikibooks.org)
From an organic chemistry perspective, a peptide bond is a type of amide group. (wikibooks.org)
A peptide bond consists of a carbonyl group's carbon atom directly bound to the nitrogen atom of a secondary amine. (wikibooks.org)
The peptide bond is planar, because resonance between the carbonyl group and the amino nitrogen lends the C-N bond a partial double-bond character. (wikibooks.org)
