The peptide formation involves two amino acids covalently joined together between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another.(a) True(b) FalseI had been asked this question by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.I'm obligated to ask this question of Protein Structure Basics in section Structural Bioinformatics of Bioinformatics

Answer»

Correct answer is (a) True

Explanation: This REACTION is a condensation reaction involving removal of elements of water from the two molecules. The resulting product is called a DIPEPTIDE. The newly FORMED covalent BOND connecting the two AMINO acids is called a peptide bond. Once an amino acid is incorporated into a peptide, it becomes an amino acid residue. Multiple amino acids can be joined together to form a longer chain of amino acid polymer.
