Question

Bonds between amino acids are what type of bonds

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is- Peptide bond.

A peptide bond is a chemical, covalent bond, which is  formed between two molecules when -COOH ( carboxylic group) of one molecule reacts with -NH2 group ( that is amino group) of another molecule.

This bond formation releases a molecule of water ( H2O) thus, it is called a dehydration reaction.

This bond is usually formed between amino acids that are linked to each other in order to form polypeptide ( protein).

When α- COOH group of one amino acid links with the α- NH2 group of another amino acid, it will form a peptide bond.

Answer 2

Amino Acids Are Linked by Peptide Bonds toForm 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).
