Nature of Bond Linking Monomers in a Polymer

Question

All of the features are related to peptide bond except:

Easy

A

Such bonds help in linking the amino acids.
B

It involves the elimination of a water moiety.
C

They are especially important as they are part of the backbone of DNA.
D

It is formed when the carboxyl (-COOH) group of one amino acid reacts with the amino (-NH₂) group of the next amino acid.

Solution

Phosphodiesters are especially important as the phosphodiester bonds compose the backbone of DNA. In a polypeptide or a protein, amino acids are linked by a peptide bond which is formed when the carboxyl (-COOH) group of one amino acid reacts with the amino (-NH₂) group of the next amino acid with the elimination of a water moiety (the process is called dehydration).
