Solution
Incorrect! Answer:
-COOH and -NH₂ groups of amino acids
A Peptide Bond (−CO−NH−) is a covalent bond formed through a condensation reaction (elimination of water) between two amino acids:
- The carboxyl group (−COOH) of one amino acid reacts with the amino group (−NH2) of another.
- This linkage is a type of amide bond.
- Due to resonance, the peptide bond has partial double bond character, making it planar and rigid.
