Question
How is tripeptide formed?
Advertisements
Solution
b. The reaction of the COOH group of one amino acid molecule and NH2 group of the neighbouring amino acid molecule forms peptide having -CO-NH- linkage by
elimination of water
The dipeptide formed reacts with another molecule of amino acid to form tripeptide
