    Which one of the following structures represents the peptide chain?

    A)  \[-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  H \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{N}}\,-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  || \\  O \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  || \\  H \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{N}}\,-\underset{|}{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}}\,-NH-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  O \\  || \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-NH-\]

    B)  \[-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  H \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{N}}\,-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  || \\  O \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-\underset{|}{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}}\,-\underset{|}{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}}\,-\underset{|}{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}}\,-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  H \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{N}}\,-\underset{|}{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}}\,-\underset{|}{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}}\,-\underset{|}{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}}\,\]

    C)  \[-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  H \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{N}}\,-\underset{|}{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}}\,-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  || \\  O \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  H \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{N}}\,-\underset{|}{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}}\,-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  || \\  O \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-\]\[\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  H \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{N}}\,-\underset{|}{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}}\,-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  || \\  O \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  H \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{N}}\,-\underset{|}{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}}\,-\]

    D)  \[-\underset{|}{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}}\,-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  H \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{N}}\,-\underset{|}{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}}\,-\underset{|}{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}}\,-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  O \\  || \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  H \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{N}}\,-\underset{|}{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}}\,-\underset{|}{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}}\,-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  H \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{N}}\,\]\[-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  || \\  O \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-\underset{|}{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}}\,-\underset{|}{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}}\,-\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     The peptide linkage\[(-NH-CO-)\]is formed by the condensation of amino acids molecules. \[HNH\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  R \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  || \\  O \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,OH\] \[+H.NH\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  R \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  || \\  O \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,OH\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}\] \[-HN\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  R \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  || \\  O \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,NH-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  R \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  || \\  O \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-\] Hence, following structure represents the peptide chain. \[-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  H \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{N}}\,\underset{|}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  || \\  O \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  H \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{N}}\,-\underset{|}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  || \\  O \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  H \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{N}}\,-\underset{|}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  O \\  || \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-\]
