Which of these statements concerning peptide bonds is FALSE? (A) Their formation involves a reaction between an amino group and a carboxyl group. (B) $\quad$ They are the primary bonds that hold amino acids together. (C) $\quad$ They have partial double bond character. (D) Their formation involves hydration reactions.
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.
