Which one is the correct representation of peptide bond

Answer»

`H-overset(O)overset(||)underset(|)(C)-underset(|)(N)-`
`-overset(O)overset(||)(C)-underset(H)underset(|)(N)-`
`H-overset(OH)overset(|)underset(|)(C)-underset(|)(N)-`
none of these

Solution :Peptides are COMPOUND formed by the condensation of two or more same or DIFFERENT `ALPHA`-amino acid. The condensation occurs between amino acids with the ELIMINATION of water. In this case, the carboxyl group of one amino acid and amino group of another amino acid gets condensed with the elimination of water MOLECULE. The resulting `-overset(O)overset(||)(C)-underset(H)underset(|)(N)-` linkage is called peptide linkage or peptide bond
