A peptide linkage (a peptide bond) is the amide linkage (-CONH-), which is formed between the two amino acid molecules. The general formula of a peptide bond can be written as follows:where [- CO - NH - ] is the peptide linkage.b. The reaction of the COOH group of one amino acid molecule and NH2 group of the neighbouring amino acid molecule forms peptide having -CO-NH- linkage by elimination of waterThe dipeptide formed reacts with another molecule of amino acid to form tripeptide
