In a protein molecule various amino acids are linked together by
- peptide bond
- dative bond
- -glycosidic bond
- -glycosidic bond.
Answer
(1) peptide bond
Solution
As per NCERT, proteins are polymers of α-amino acids.
The –COOH group of one amino acid condenses with the –NH2 group of the next with loss of water:
-COOH + H2N- -CO-NH- + H2O
The -CO-NH- linkage so formed is the peptide bond.
Glycosidic bonds join monosaccharide units (carbohydrates), not amino acids.
