The peptide bond has partial ____ character.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The peptide bond has partial double bond character due to resonance, which restricts rotation around the bond and results in a planar structure. It is formed between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another amino acid, with the loss of a water molecule through a condensation reaction. The peptide bond is important in the formation of proteins and in the secondary structure of proteins such as alpha helices and beta sheets.
