Question

Which Bond Joins The Amino Acids?

Answer 1

Peptide bond:

1. The peptide bonds join the amino acids.
2. A peptide bond, also referred to as an amide bond, is formed between the α-nitrogen atom of one amino acid and the carbonyl carbon of a second.
3. Each amino acid is attached to another amino acid by a covalent bond, known as a peptide bond.
4. When two amino acids are covalently attached by a peptide bond, the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of the incoming amino acid combine and release a molecule of water.
