Answer:

The name of the two covalent bonds responsible for maintenance of a protein structure are peptide and disulphide bonds.

Explanation:

When two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons a bond is formed, which is known as covalent bond. These bonds are strong bonds and are very stable in nature.

  • In protein two or more amino acids are linked by peptide bonds. These bonds are amide linkages between α-amino group of one amino acid and the α-carboxyl group of other. The amide bond is highly resonance-stabilized. This stabilization strengthens the peptide bond.
  • The most prominent covalent bonds in tertiary structure are the disulphide bridges or bonds found in extracellular proteins.

Hence, the two covalent bonds are peptide and disulphide bonds.
