What are zwitterion?
Protons move from the OH group in the COOH group and join the NH2 group to form a Zwitterion.

correct
5
New cards
How to zwitterions react with base?
correct
6
New cards
Peptide formation
The amino acids form peptides by loosing the OH in the COOH group and attaching the amino group from the next monomer by removing a hydrogen ion.
