Question

Number of amino acid residues in a tetrapeptide are

Moderate

A

1
B

2
C

3
D

4

Solution

Peptide bond formation;
$- COOH + H_{2} N - \overset{- H_{2} O}{\to} - CO - NH - (peptide linkage);$
Condensation of $α -$ amino acids involves loss of water molecules ;
-OH from $- COOH$ and -H from $- {NH}_{2}$ lose as water;
Number of peptide linkages= n-1 (n=number of amino acid residues);
A tetra peptide contains four amino acid residues with three peptide linkages;
