Two α-amino acids condense: −CONH− peptide linkage; water eliminated
What each symbol means
| Symbol | What it stands for |
|---|---|
| peptide bond | Amide linkage −CO−NH− between residues |
When to use this
Condensation (often biologically activated by ATP/enzymes; NCERT shows carboxyl + amine → amide + H2O conceptually).
