A peptide chain is a polymer of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. A peptide bond is an amide linkage formed between the carboxyl group () of one amino acid and the amino group () of the adjacent amino acid, with the elimination of a water molecule . The repeating backbone of a peptide chain is represented generally as . Since the options are image-based and not provided in the text, the correct option cannot be visually identified, but a typical peptide chain will show this repeating linkage.
