The+Peptide+Bond

=**A peptide bond is a covalent bond that is formed between two molecules when the carboxyl group of one molecule reacts with the amino group of the another molecule, releasing a molecule of water.**= = = =**It is mistaken for an amino bond sometimes.**= = = == = = =**The bond is rigid and planer.**= = = =**It can be broken down by hydrolysis, or adding of water**.=

=**The peptide bonds that are formed within proteins have a tendency to break when put in the presence of water.**=

=**Living organisms use enzymes to broken down or to form peptide bonds.**=
