Interpretation: The joining of amino acids to form peptide bonds is to be described.
Concept introduction: An amino acid is made up of two parts: a carboxyl group and an amino group. A peptide is an amino acid short chain.
Answer to Problem 97A
Peptide bonds form when the carboxyl group of one amino acid makes a bond with the
Explanation of Solution
The combination of the amino group of one acid with the carboxyl group of another acid results in the formation of a peptide chain. These amino acids act as the building blocks of proteins.
The bond between two amino acids in a peptide chain is referred to as a "peptide bond." Peptide bonds join amino acids by linking one amino acid's carboxyl group to another's amine group, resulting in the release of water.
Peptide bonds form when the carboxyl group of one amino acid makes a bond with the amine group of the other, releasing water and joining the amino acids together.
