Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In order to form a peptide bond, energy is required for the reaction to take place. However, more energy is consumed in the process of forming a peptide bond than is actually required for the formation of the bond alone. This extra energy is required to overcome the activation energy barrier for the reaction to occur.
