How is a peptide bond formed?

Answer»

(i) Amino acids condense to form peptide. In this process, the carboxylic group of one amino acid joins with the amino group of another amino acid with a loss of water molecule. 

(ii) The bond thus formed (-CO-NH-) is called amide or peptide bond. A chain of two amino acid is called dipeptide, that of three is tripeptide and many is polypeptide.
