Which of the following statements about peptide bonds are true? Peptide bonds form from nucleophilic attack by an electron pair on an alpha-amino nitrogen atom on an alpha-carboxyl carbon atom of another amino acid. Peptide bond formation is a hydrolysis reaction. Peptide bonds are amide linkages. Peptides are polymers of proteins. A tetrapeptide contains five amino acid residues.
