Answer:

A peptide bond is the amide bond which is formed when the carboxyl group of one amino acid becomes linked to the amino group of another to form a peptide.

Answer and Explanation:

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, releasing a molecule of water (H2O). This is a dehydration synthesis reaction (also known as a condensation reaction), and usually occurs between amino acids.
