How is a peptide bond formed? |
|
Answer» (i) Amino acids condense to form peptide. In this process, the carboxylic group of one amino acid joins with the amino group of another amino acid with a loss of water molecule. (ii) The bond thus formed (-CO-NH-) is called amide or peptide bond. A chain of two amino acid is called dipeptide, that of three is tripeptide and many is polypeptide. |
