    The two polypeptides of human insulin are linked together by:

    A) Hydrogen bonds

    B) Phosphodiester bond

    C) Covalent bond

    D) Disulphide bridges

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Insulin is a hormone consisting of 2 polypeptide chains. Each chain is composed of a specific sequence of amino acid residues connected by peptide bonds. In humans, chain A has 21 amino acids, and chain B has 30 amino acids. Post-translational modifications result in the connection of these two chains by disulpide bridges.
