Question

Peptide bond is formed between two amino acids through

• A. Addition of water
• B. Loss of water
• C. Decarboxylation
• D. Deamination

Answer 1

The correct option is B Loss of water

A peptide bond is formed by the linkage of the carboxyl group of one amino acids with the amino group of the amino acids. The amino acids consist of amine group made up of nitrogen and hydrogen and a carboxyl group at the end and a side chain of R group which is specific to a particular amino acid. The carboxyl group of one amino acids links to the amine group of another amino acid by releasing water molecules.

So, the correct answer is option B.
