When a ribosome catalyzes the formation of a dipeptide, which specific functional groups of the amino acids react with each other?
Q1. When a ribosome catalyzes the formation of a dipeptide, which specific functional groups of the amino acids react with each other?
Answer: The amino group and carboxyl group
Explanation: Peptide bonds are formed between the amino group of one amino acid and the carboxyl group of another. The R-groups never participate in this bond.
