Question

All the following are steps included in linking amino acids to form chains except

A. using a peptide bond to connect the amino acids.
B. removing the hydroxyl part of the amino group.
C. removing a hydrogen from the amino group.
D. forming water.
I think its B or C

Answer 1

I think the answer is C. Removing a hydrogen from the amino group.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is option B, that is, removing the hydroxyl part of the amino group.

Explanation:

At the time of the formation of the peptide, that is, when two amino acids get associate together, the two molecules of oxygen and a hydrogen atom get discharged in the form of water molecules. The amino acid, which presents the amino group to the reaction loses hydrogen, while the amino acid, which presents the carboxyl group to the reaction loses a hydroxyl group.
