Proteins are quite stable. The lifetime of a peptide bond in aqueous solution is nearly 1000 years; however, the free energy of hydrolysis of proteins is negative and quite large. How do you account for the stability of the peptide bond in light of the fact that hydrolysis releases so much energy

The correct answer is b.hoped i you

Answercreating graphs and performing calculations;

According to arrhenius theory of acid and bases, an acid is a proton donor, while base donates hydroxyl ions. further, acid and base reacts to form salt and water.consider following example.hcl    +      h2o          →      cl-          +      h3o+here, hcl has donated a proton, hence it is an acid.now consider following reactionhcl      +      naoh            ↔      nacl      +        h2oin this reaction, hcl donates proton, hence it is acid. on other hand, naoh donates hydroxyl ion (i.e. hence it is a base.
