What bonds holds amino acids together?
Amino acids are held together by peptide bonds. Peptide bonds are formed through a condensation reaction between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another amino acid, resulting in the formation of a covalent bond and the release of a water molecule.
No of peptide bonds in hexapeptide would be?
A hexapeptide is a peptide composed of six amino acids linked together through peptide bonds. Since each peptide bond is formed between two amino acids, a hexapeptide would have 5 peptide bonds connecting the 6 amino acids.
Are peptide bonds found in DNA?
Well... SORT of. Technically, the bases contain the NCO (amide) moiety that characterizes a peptide bond. However, they occur in heterocyclic rings, and it's stretching a point to call them "peptide bonds" since they're not linking two peptide residues. Also, they're in the cis-form, which is atypical of peptide bonds.
What kind of bonds join the amino acids in a polypeptide chain?
Well! Polypeptides are chain of amino-acids better known as proteins. Those amino-acids are join together by peptide bonds. Peptide bonds form when two amino-acids undego the process of condensation reaction, or dehydration synthesis where a carboxyl group of one amino-acid reacts with the amino group of another amino acid releasing water.
Which macromolecules has peptide bonds?
Peptide bonds are primarily found in proteins, which are polymers made up of amino acids. Peptide bonds form between the amino group of one amino acid and the carboxyl group of another amino acid during protein synthesis.
