A peptide bond is a chemical bond formed between two molecules when the carboxyl group of one molecule reacts with the amino group of the other molecule, releasing a molecule of water (H2O). This is a dehydration synthesis reaction (also known as a condensation reaction), and usually occurs between amino acids.

Answer: Water is released during the formation of a peptide bond.
A peptide bond is formed when carboxyl group ( -COOH) of one molecule links to amino group (-NH₂) of another molecule.This reaction is called as condensation reaction because water is released in the formation of peptide bond. The -OH from -COOH and Hydrogen from -NH₂ combine to form water which is therefore released when this bond is formed.
It is generally formed between two amino acids in a protein.
