When amino acids are linked together, they form a peptide bond. When it joins two amino acids, it forms a dipeptide bond. When a long chain of amino acids are joined by peptide bonds, it becomes a protein. As shown in the picture, it loses H-OH molecules. So, it will appear in the product side as a H₂O molecule.
