What is the linkage present in proteins?
- A.Glycosidic linkage
- B.Peptide linkage
- C.Ester linkage
- D.Ether linkage
Show correct answer & step-by-step solution
Correct answer: B — Peptide linkage
Solution
- Proteins are formed by the polymerization of amino acids.
- The bond formed between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another is called a peptide bond.
- This linkage is represented as .
- Hence the answer is (B).
