BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -A peptide bond, also known as amide bond, is a chemical bond formed between two molecules when the carboxyl group of one molecule reacts with the amino group of the other molecule, releasing a molecule of water.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -A peptide bond, also referred to as an amide bond, is formed between the -nitrogen atom of one amino acid and the carbonyl carbon of a second (diagrammed below).

Detailed explanation-4: -Peptide bond: A covalent bond joining the -amino group of one amino acid to the carboxyl group of another with the loss of a water molecule.
