Transcript of Informal Reading Inventory. Dawn Talbott Definition: Informal Reading Inventory (IRI) Diagnostic assessment that is administered in a series of tests to evaluate different parts of a student's reading ability and performance. Betts regarded informal assessment a more accurate indicator of a student's reading ability.
Any reaction that combines two monomers in a reaction that generates H 2 O as one of the products is known as a dehydration reaction, so peptide bond formation is an example of a dehydration reaction.
Proteins are formed by joining the -CO2H end of one amino acid with the -NH2 end of another to form an amide. The -CONH- bond between amino acids is known as a peptide bond because relatively short polymers of amino acids are known as peptides. The same -CONH- bond forms the backbone of both proteins and synthetic fibers such as Nylon.
