Correct answer: 3
-
A peptide is formed by joining amino acids through peptide bonds (amide linkages).
-
If amino acid molecules combine to form one linear peptide chain, then the number of peptide linkages formed is: This is because each linkage joins two amino acids, and joining units into one chain requires one fewer bond than the number of units.
-
Here, the peptide is synthesized from one molecule each of:
- Glycine
- Leucine
- Aspartic acid
- Histidine
So total number of amino acid molecules is:
-
Therefore, number of peptide linkages is:
-
Hence, the peptide will have: peptide linkages.
