Understand the structure of amino acids: Each amino acid has an amino group (-NH₂) and a carboxyl group (-COOH).
Recognize the process of forming a peptide bond: When two amino acids join, the carboxyl group of one amino acid reacts with the amino group of another.
Identify the type of reaction: This is a condensation reaction, where a molecule of water (H₂O) is released.
Describe the bond formation: The bond formed between the carbon atom of the carboxyl group and the nitrogen atom of the amino group is called a peptide bond.
Conclude the type of bond: The peptide bond is a covalent bond, specifically an amide bond, which is crucial in forming proteins by linking amino acids together.
