Detailed explanation-1: -The fundamental reaction of protein synthesis is the formation of a peptide bond between the carboxyl group at the end of a growing polypeptide chain and a free amino group on an incoming amino acid. Consequently, a protein is synthesized stepwise from its N-terminal end to its C-terminal end.

Detailed explanation-2: -Amino acids are attached to other amino acids by covalent bonds, known as peptide bonds, which are formed by dehydration synthesis reactions. The carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of the incoming amino acid combine, releasing a molecule of water and forming a peptide bond (Figure 3.7).

Detailed explanation-3: -Q: What is the overall biological importance of dehydration synthesis reactions? A: In addition to joining molecules and forming new products like alcohols and ethers, dehydration synthesis is a process that helps serve as a chemical basis for the building of larger macromolecules.

Detailed explanation-4: -Protein anabolism is the process by which proteins are formed from amino acids. It relies on five processes: amino acid synthesis, transcription, translation, post translational modifications, and protein folding.
