Illustrate a glycosidic, peptide and a phospho-diester bond.
Answers
Explanation:
(a) A glycosidic bond is formed normally between C-1 and C-4, of adjacent monosaccharide units.
Glycosidic bond
(b) Peptide bond is a covalent bond that is formed between two adjacent amino acids by condensation of NH 2
gp of one amino acid and C=O group of other amino acid and hence, it can be depicted as
Peptide bond
(c) Phosphodiester bond is a strong covalent bond formed between phosphate and two adjacent sugar groups. Such bonds form the sugar-phosphate backbone of nucleic acids.
