There are no subunits to amino acids others than atoms. Aminos acids are small molecules containing carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sometimes sulfur. Amino acids are the subunits of polypeptides and a few of these can combine to form proteins.

What is the bond type linking the subunits of proteins together called?

The bond type linking subunits of proteins together is called a peptide bond. It forms between the amino group of one amino acid and the carboxyl group of another amino acid, creating a covalent bond that is essential for protein structure and function.

What are the subunits of amino acids?

Amino acids are composed of an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom, and a side chain (R-group). The R-group varies among different amino acids and gives each amino acid its unique properties.
