What type of bond links amino acids in a protein chain?

Answer: Peptide bond.

  • A Ionic bond
  • B Glycosidic bond
  • C Peptide bond
  • D Phosphodiester bond

Correct answer: C. Peptide bond

Explanation: Amino acids are linked by peptide bonds, formed between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of the next.

Enzyme Kinetics: Rate vs Substrate Concentration[Substrate]Reaction rateVmaxKm½VmaxCurve flattens at high [S]: ALL enzyme active sites are occupied (saturation)

As substrate concentration rises, reaction rate increases steeply at first, then plateaus at Vmax once every enzyme molecule is working at full capacity; Km is the substrate concentration giving half-maximal rate, and a LOWER Km means the enzyme reaches that rate with less substrate (higher affinity).
