Name the monomer linked by peptide bond |
| Answer» A peptide bond is a\xa0chemical bond\xa0formed between two molecules when the\xa0carboxyl group\xa0of one\xa0molecule\xa0reacts with the amino group of the other\xa0molecule, releasing a\xa0molecule\xa0of water (H2O). This is a dehydration synthesis reaction (also known as a condensation reaction), and usually occurs between amino acids.\xa0Peptide bonds\xa0(also known as\xa0amide bonds) are the\xa0bonds\xa0that are found between two\xa0monomer units\xa0of amino acids in a\xa0polypeptide\xa0chain. They are created through condensation reactions in which a molecule of water (H2O) is removed. | |
