In a linear tetrapeptide (Constituted with different amino acids), (number of amino acids) - (number of peptide bonds) is
Correct answer
1
Step-by-step solution
A tetrapeptide is a peptide, classified as an oligopeptide, since it only consists of four amino acids joined by peptide bonds. A peptide bond, also referred to as an amide bond, is formed between the α-nitrogen atom of one amino acid and the carbonyl carbon of a second. Example of tetrapeptide is: Tuftsin   ( L - threonyl ) - ( L - lysyl ) - ( L - prolyl ) - ( L - arginine )   is a peptide related primarily to the immune system function As we can see in this example No. of Amino Acids = 4 No. of Pe
