Question

what is peptide bond??????​

Answer 1

Answer:

In proteins, the α - amino acids are connected or bonded to each other by peptide bond or peptide linkage.

Chemically, peptide linkage is an amide bond formed between ${\sf{\red{- COOH}}}$ group and ${\sf{\red{- NH_2}}}$ group.

Peptide bond formation results in the release of water molecule.

Representation : ${\sf{\green{- CO - NH -}}}$

• Proteins are the essential biomolecules, required in the growth of our body.
• Chemically, proteins are the polymers of α - amino acids. These are the building blocks of proteins.
• Proteins help as enzymes, antibodies, transport agent and as structural materials.

Answer 2

Explanation:

A peptide bond is an amide type of covalent chemical bond linking two consecutive alpha-amino acids from C1 of one alpha-amino acid and N2 of another along a peptide or protein chain. It can also be called an eupeptide bond to separate it from an isopeptide bond, a different type of amide bond between two amino acids.
