Question
How is polypeptide bond formed ?
✓
Answer
A polypeptide bond, commonly referred to as a peptide bond, is formed through a biochemical process known as dehydration synthesis or condensation reaction. A polypeptide bond is formed when the carboxyl group of one Amino acid reacts with the amino group of another amino acid releasing a molecule of water and forming a covalent bond between the two amino acids. This bond is the basis for the formation of proteins, which are composed of one or more long chains of polypeptides.
