AMINO ACIDS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The chemical bonds between amino acids in the primary sequence of proteins are
A
Hydrogen bonds
B
Disulfide bonds.
C
Peptide bonds
D
Ionic bonds.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Within a protein, multiple amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds, thereby forming a long chain. Peptide bonds are formed by a biochemical reaction that extracts a water molecule as it joins the amino group of one amino acid to the carboxyl group of a neighboring amino acid.

Detailed explanation-2: -A peptide bond also sometimes called eupeptide bond is a chemical bond that is formed by joining the carboxyl group of one amino acid to the amino group of another. A peptide bond is basically an amide-type of covalent chemical bond.

Detailed explanation-3: -Peptide bonds and disulfide bonds form the primary structure of proteins.

Detailed explanation-4: -A protein’s primary structure refers to the amino acid sequence in the polypeptide chain. Peptide bonds that are made during the protein biosynthesis process hold the primary structure together.

Detailed explanation-5: -A peptide bond. This covalent bond forms when the carbon atom from the carboxyl group of one amino acid shares electrons with the nitrogen atom (blue) from the amino group of a second amino acid.
