Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What type of reaction forms a peptide bond?
  • Step 1: Understand that a peptide bond connects two amino acids.
  • Step 2: Know that amino acids have an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxyl group (-COOH).
  • Step 3: When two amino acids come together, the carboxyl group of one amino acid reacts with the amino group of the other.
  • Step 4: This reaction releases a molecule of water (H2O).
  • Step 5: The remaining parts of the amino acids bond together, forming a peptide bond.
