<P> A peptide bond, also known as an amide bond, is a covalent chemical bond linking two consecutive amino acid monomers along a peptide or protein chain . </P> <P> When two amino acids form a dipeptide through a peptide bond it is called condensation . In condensation, two amino acids approach each other, with the acid moiety of one coming near the amino moiety of the other . One loses a hydrogen and oxygen from its carboxyl group (COOH) and the other loses a hydrogen from its amino group (NH). This reaction produces a molecule of water (H O) and two amino acids joined by a peptide bond (- CO-NH -). The two joined amino acids are called a dipeptide . </P> <P> The amide bond is synthesized when the carboxyl group of one amino acid molecule reacts with the amino group of the other amino acid molecule, causing the release of a molecule of water (H O), hence the process is a dehydration synthesis reaction (also known as a condensation reaction). </P>
