Explain what is meant by 1. a peptide linkage 2. a glycosidic linkage

Answer»

1. Peptide linkage: 

Polymers of x – amino acids are connected to each other by peptide bond or peptide linkage. Chemically peptide linkage is an amide formed between – COOH group and NH2 group.

2. Glycosidic linkage: 

The two monosaccharide units are joined together by an oxide linkage formed by the loss of a water molecule. Such a linkage between two mono saecharide units through oxygen atom is called glycosidic linkage.
