A peptide bond is a covalent bond that forms between two amino acids during protein synthesis. It occurs when the amino group (-NH₂) of one amino acid reacts with the carboxyl group (-COOH) of another amino acid, releasing a molecule of water (H₂O). This process is called dehydration synthesis. Example: Formation of a peptide bond … Read more
A systematic method of naming chemical compounds ensures clarity and avoids confusion. It helps in the precise identification of compounds, facilitating effective communication among scientists, ensuring the correct structure and properties are understood, and avoiding ambiguities in practical applications.
