What is a peptide bond?

0:15

A peptide bond is the covalent bond that joins two amino acids together. It forms by dehydration synthesis between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of the next, releasing a water molecule. Long chains of amino acids joined by peptide bonds are called polypeptides.
