Using the two amino acids alanine and glycine, show a dehydration synthesis reaction forming a dipeptide. Draw the dipeptide of two amino acids joined together by a peptide bond. Label the peptide bond with an arrow. The position of the peptide bond is also the place in the molecule where a water molecule was removed and the two amino acids were joined by a dehydration synthesis reaction (also sometimes referred to as a condensation reaction).

A protein is composed of a combination of amino acids.

What is a peptide bond?

A protein is composed of a combination of amino acids. The amino acids join together in a peptide bond. A number of peptide bonds give polypeptides which are the building blocks for proteins.

Now, we can see from the image that the polypeptide bond occurs between the carboxylic group of the glycine and the amine group of the alanine.

This leads to a loss of water molecule and a subsequent formation of the amide bond by condensation.
