Question

Which of the following molecules could be joined together by a peptide bond as a result of a dehydration

reaction?

A) 3 and 7
B) 7 and 8
C) 2 and 3
D) 8 and 9
E) 12 and 13"

Answer 1

Molecules 7 and 8 could be joined together by a peptide bond through a dehydration reaction.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the process of peptide bond formation, the carboxyl group of one amino acid is joined to the amino group of another amino acid, resulting in the formation of a peptide bond and the release of a water molecule. Based on the given options, molecules 7 and 8 could be joined together by a peptide bond through a dehydration reaction.
