The covalent bond between amino acids is called a peptide bond. It is really an amide bond, so letâs look at amide bonds first. In organic chemistry, a carboxylic acid reacts with an amine in a so-called condensation reaction to form an amide plus water. R(C=O)-OH + H-NRâ â R(C=O)-NRâ + HâO. carboxylic acid + amine â amide.
Amino acids can be linked together to form chains containing anything from two to many thousands of units. Short chains are known as peptides, while longer chains are called polypeptides, which include proteins. An amino acid sequence is simply the order of these units in a polypeptide chain.
