Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A peptide bond, also called an eupeptide bond, is a chemical bond that is formed by joining the carboxyl group of one amino acid to the amino group of another. A peptide bond is basically an amide-type of the covalent chemical bond.
Detailed explanation-2: -Peptide bonds and disulfide bonds form the primary structure of proteins. The amino acids in polypeptides are held together bypeptide bonds. Adipeptide is formed by a reaction between the -carboxyl and -amino groups of two amino acids.
