A peptide bond is a covalent linkage between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another. Formed during protein synthesis through dehydration synthesis, it creates a polypeptide chain, crucial for the structure and function of proteins in living organisms. This is an MCQ on Peptide […]

MCQ on Primary Structure of Proteins
The primary structure of proteins refers to the linear sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain. It is determined by the specific order of amino acids linked by peptide bonds, forming the backbone of the protein, and is crucial for its overall function and three-dimensional structure. This is an […]
