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.
More specifically, peptide bonds join the carboxyl group of one amino acid with the amino group of another. For example, the amino acid called glycine can bond with the amino acid called alanine to form a dipeptide. The prefix 'di' means two, so, a dipeptide is defined as a compound consisting of two amino acids.
