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 long molecular chains made from one of the 20 basic building blocks of life, Amino acids. The amino acids in a polymer are connected together by the peptide bonds between the carboxyl and amino groups of adjacent amino acids. The carboxyl group contains 1 carbon and 1 hydrogen atom and 2 oxygen atoms (CO-OH). The amine group contains 1 nitrogen atom attached to 2 hydrogen atoms (H-N-H).
