What is a peptide bond?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Peptide Bond**: A peptide bond is a specific type of covalent bond known as an amide bond. It is formed between two amino acids. 2. **Formation of Peptide Bond**: The peptide bond forms when the carboxyl group (-COOH) of one amino acid reacts with the amino group (-NH2) of another amino acid. 3. **Condensation Reaction**: During this reaction, a molecule of water (H2O) is released. This process is known as a condensation reaction, where two molecules combine to form a larger molecule while losing a small molecule (in this case, water). ...
