Cuddles · Answer 1

Amino acids which are known to be linked by peptide bonds they form polypeptide chains.

Proteins are linear polymers are formed by way of linking an a-carboxy group of one amino acid to a-amino of different amino acids which have peptide bond. The formation which results from two amino acids which result in a loss of a water molecule. The best process of the reaction is hydrolysis.

Structure : Amino Acids Are Linked by Peptide Bonds to Form Polypeptide Chains. Proteins are linear polymers formed by linking the α-carboxyl group of one amino acid to the α - amino group of another amino acid with a peptide bond (also called an amide bond).
