← ScienceWhich outcome occurs during peptide formation where hydroxide stabilizes?
A)Water molecule liberation occurs✓
B)Hydrogen bonds remain intact
C)Hydroxide destabilizes the bond
D)No condensation process happens
💡 Explanation
Peptide bonds result of condensing amine with carboxylate involving a displacement of hydroxy where *nucleophilic acyl substitution* liberates one water molecule; therefore free water is liberated rather than amine attaching because that is deprotonation.
