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