Q. Molecular weight of protein is :

Bihar CECEBihar CECE 2005

Solution:

Proteins are linear polymers of ammo acids. Hence, these are made up of C, H, 0, N and in some cases S also. These are macromolecules of high molecular weight (several thousands to several millions). The elimination of water during interaction between the aminoactds is called condensation and the linkageso formed is a carbon nitrogen bond called peptide bond. The compound so formed is called dipeptide.
