Whatis meant by : (i) Peptidelinkage . (ii) Biocatalysts ? |
Answer» Solution :(i) Peptide linkage : Proteins are complex nitrogenouspolymeric substancepresentin all from of LIVINGMATTER . Theseare obtainedby the condensationpolymerisation of `alpha` - amino acidthrough the FORMATIONOF peptide bonds. Thelinkage whichcombinetwo amino acids is called peptide linkage .  (III) BIOCATALYST : Enzyme are complex nitrogenous substance(protein) havingmolecular weightof 10,000 or even more . Enzymeincrease the rateof biochemical reactions by providingalternative path of loweractivation energy. Therefore ,enzyme are termed as biochemical catalystand phenomenon is KNOWN asbiochemicalcatalysis. |
