@ukpeptology.co.uk: What exactly is a peptide bond? It’s the covalent link between amino acids — the join that turns single residues into a chain. A peptide bond connects the carboxyl group of one amino acid to the amino group of the next. That amide link (–CO–NH–) is what builds the peptide backbone. Simple chemistry. Huge consequences.
