Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that proteins are made up of amino acids linked together in a chain.
Recognize that the bond formed between amino acids is a specific type of covalent bond.
Learn that this bond is called a peptide bond, which is formed during a dehydration synthesis reaction.
In a dehydration synthesis reaction, the carboxyl group of one amino acid reacts with the amino group of another, releasing a molecule of water.
The resulting bond, the peptide bond, is a strong covalent bond that links the amino acids together in a protein chain.
