Detailed explanation-1: -peptide bond or peptide linkage is an amide formed between-COOH and NH2 group by elimination of a water molecule. The peptide bond or linkage is −O∣∣C−NH−
Detailed explanation-2: -Amino acids are natural compounds composed of amine (–NH2) and carboxylic acid (–COOH) functional groups, linked to the same carbon atom.
Detailed explanation-3: -A peptide bond is basically an amide-type of covalent chemical bond. This bond links two consecutive alpha-amino acids from C1 (carbon number one) of one alpha-amino acid and N2 (nitrogen number two) of another. This linkage is found along a peptide or protein chain.
Detailed explanation-4: -A peptide bond, also referred to as an amide bond, is formed between the -nitrogen atom of one amino acid and the carbonyl carbon of a second (diagrammed below).
