Q. A bond formed between carboxyl group of one amino acid and amino group of adjacent amino acid is called

AFMCAFMC 2009

Solution:

A peptide bond is a chemical bond formed between two molecules when the carboxyl grcip of one molecule reacts with the amine group of the other molecule; thereby releasing a molecule of $H_2O$. This is a dehydration synthesis reaction and usually occurs between amino acids. The resulting bond is a peptide bond and the resulting molecule is an amide .
