The bond that holds together the two amino acids is a peptide bond, or a covalent chemical bond between two compounds (in this case, two amino acids). It occurs when the carboxylic group of one molecule reacts with the amino group of the other molecule, linking the two molecules and releasing a water molecule.

Large proteins are formed by linking amino acids with peptide bonds. The amide bond is formed through a condensation reaction, whereby the carbonyl and the amine group link together with the release of water.
