Amidebondi

Amidebondi is a term that has appeared in a small subset of online science writing and educational resources. It is not a standard term in chemistry or biochemistry, and there is no generally accepted definition in peer-reviewed literature.

Origins and usage: The word appears as a neologism constructed from “amide” and “bond” with a suffix “-i” that may denote a particular instance or index. In the few contexts where it is used, amidebondi can refer to either a canonical amide linkage (the carbonyl carbon–nitrogen bond) or to a generalized motif used in simplified models of polymeric systems. Some educators present amidebondi as a pedagogical shorthand to illustrate the planarity and resonance of amide linkages.

Notes on meaning: Because the term is not standardized, interpretations vary. Users should rely on the surrounding text to determine whether amidebondi is intended as a specific chemical entity, an indexing label, or a teaching abstraction. In formal chemistry, the established term is “amide bond” or “peptide bond.”
