Chemistry Question on Biomolecules
-C||ONH-(peptide bond) which statement is incorrect about peptide bond
C–N bond length in protiens is longer than usual bond length of N-bond
Spectroscopic analysis show planar structure of – C –NH –O group
C–N bond length in proteins is smaller than usual bond length of C–N bond
None of above
C–N bond length in protiens is longer than usual bond length of N-bond
Solution
The correct option is(A): C–N bond length in protiens is longer than usual bond length of N-bond. Peptide bonds are indeed the chemical bonds that connect two adjacent amino acids in a protein chain, leading to the formation of proteins. These bonds are formed through a condensation reaction (also known as dehydration synthesis) between the carboxyl group (-COOH) of one amino acid and the amino group (-NH2) of another amino acid.
