Polypeptides are chains of amino acids linked together in a specific order.
What type of bonds are formed between these amino acids?
Choose 1 answer:
Peptide bonds
Glycosidic linkages
Hydrogen bonds
Ester linkage
A peptide bond is a chemical bond formed between two molecules when the carboxyl group of one molecule reacts with the amino group of the other molecule, releasing a molecule of water.
This is a dehydration synthesis reaction (also known as a condensation reaction), and usually occurs between amino acids.
