Question

Which groups are involved in the peptide links of amino acids?

Answer 1

Answer:

Section 3.2Primary Structure: Amino Acids Are Linked by Peptide Bonds to Form Polypeptide Chains. Proteins are linear polymers formed by linking the α-carboxyl group of one amino acid to the α-amino group of another amino acid with a peptide bond (also called an amide bond).

Answer 2

Answer:

Amino Acids Are Linked by Peptide Bonds to Form Polypeptide Chains.

Proteins are linear polymers formed by linking the α-carboxyl group of one amino acid to the α-amino group of another amino acid with a peptide bond (also called an amide bond). The formation of a dipeptide from two amino acids is accompanied by the loss of a water molecule.
