(i) the syntheiss and breakdown of dipeptides and polypeptides by the formation and breakage of peptide bonds

What is the condensation reaction that forms a peptide bond?

OH group from a.a (1st)

Is slots and h atom is lost from 2nd a.a

Remaining carbon atom (1st a.a)bonds to nitrogen atom of 2nd (a.a)

What is a dipeptide?

Formed from condensation of 2 amino acids

What is a polypeptide

Condensation of many (3+) amino acids

What kinds of chains might a protein have?

A protein may only have one polypeptide chain or it may have multiple chains interacting with each other

What is the structure of a dipetode

What breaks down peptide bonds?

Hydrolysis

Polypeptide broken down into amino acids

In order for a polypeptide to be a protein the polypeptide has to ————

Fold into a complex 3 dimensional shape
