A peptide bond is a chemical bond formed between two molecules when the carboxyl group of one molecule reacts with the amino group of the other molecule; thereby releasing a molecule of . This is a dehydration synthesis reaction and usually occurs between amino acids. The resulting bond is a peptide bond and the resulting molecules is an amide.
