  • Peptide chain consists of two or more amino acids joined together via a covalent bond. 
  • This covalent bond between two amino acid is called a peptide bond.
  • A peptide bond is formed when the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of the other amino acid combine, releasing a molecule of water.
  • The two amino acids connected via a peptide bond are called dipeptide.
  • When 12-20 amino acids are joined, an oligopeptide is formed.
  • When more than twenty amino acids are linked, a polypeptide is formed.
