Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Proteins consist of amino acids that are linked together by peptide bonds which are covalent bonds formed between the amino group of one amino acid and the carboxyl group of another amino acid. Noncovalent bonds such as hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces are involved in protein folding and stabilization, but they do not link the amino acids together to form the primary structure of the protein. Phosphodiester bonds are involved in linking nucleotides to form nucleic acids.
