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.
Proteins are formed by joining the -CO2H end of one amino acid with the -NH2 end of another to form an amide. The -CONH- bond between amino acids is known as a peptide bond because relatively short polymers of amino acids are known as peptides. The same -CONH- bond forms the backbone of both proteins and synthetic fibers such as Nylon.
