What is peptide bond ? Give one example.

Explanation

Two molecules of c-amino acids combine to give dipeptide as shown below:
`underset("Two molecules of "alpha"-amino acid")(H-overset(H)overset(|)N-overset(R )overset(|)(CH)-overset(O)overset(||)C-OH+H)-overset(H)overset(|)N-overset(R )overset(|)(CH)-overset(O)overset(||)C-OH`
`underset(-H_(2)O)toH-overset(H)overset(|)N-overset(R )overset(|)(CH)-underset("Peptide Bond")(overset(O)overset(||)C-overset(H)overset(|)N-)overset(R )overset(|)(CH)-overset(O)overset(||)C-OH`
The -CONH- linkage formed between two amino acid units is called a peptide linkage or peptide bond.
