Which Bonds are Created During the Formation of the Primary

Question

Which bonds are created during the formation of the primary structure of a protein?
A) peptide bonds
B) hydrogen bonds
C) disulfide bonds
D) phosphodiester bonds
E) peptide bonds, hydrogen bonds, and disulfide bonds

Accepted Answer

Peptide bonds are the only bonds created during the formation of the primary structure of a protein. This is because the primary structure is simply a linear sequence of amino acids connected by peptide bonds. Hydrogen bonds and disulfide bonds form in the secondary and tertiary structures of the protein, respectively. Phosphodiester bonds are only found in nucleic acids, not proteins.
