Proteins are linear polymers of amino acids. Hence, these are made up of C, H, O, N and in some cases S also. These are macromolecules of high molecular weight (from 6000 to several millions). The elimination of water during interaction between the amino acids is called condensation and the linkage so formed is a carbon nitrogen bond called peptide bond. The compound so formed is called dipeptide.
