The Peptides are naturally occurring biological molecules made up of short chains of amino acid residues carry secondary structure of protein. In typical peptides, when 30-40 amino acids are linked together by Peptides bonds, several water molecules are released. The shortest peptides are dipeptides, consisting of 2 amino acids joined by a single peptide bond, followed by tripeptides, tetrapeptides, oligopeptides and polypeptides etc. Therefore, a polypeptide is a long, continuous, unbranched peptide chain contains approximately 50 or fewer amino acids distinguished from proteins on the basis of size, an arbitrary benchmark used to understand the difference between the two.

Peptide synthesis is the process of creating peptides, which are short chains of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. It can be done using various methods, including solid-phase peptide synthesis and liquid-phase peptide synthesis. Peptide synthesis is commonly used in research, drug development, and biochemistry to produce peptides for various applications such as studying protein structure and function, designing new drugs, and understanding biological processes.

What process does protein synthesis consist of?
peptide
In protein synthesis a nucleus forms peptide bonds?
no
What process produces peptide bonds?
Dehydration synthesis is the process that produces peptide bonds. A peptide bond is a covalent chemical bond formed between a carboxyl group and an amino group.
What is peptide transferase?
Peptidyl transferase is the enzyme that catalyzes the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids during translation of protein synthesis.

What do polyribosomes do?
groups of ribosomes reading a single mRNA simultaneously
During protein synthesis what happens to amino acids?
During protein synthesis, the amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds. This process is carried out by the ribosomes.
What is the minimum number NTPs requred for formation of one peptide bond during protein synthesis?
two
