Un legame peptidico è un legame covalente legame chimico formed between two amino acid molecules. It links the carboxyl group ([latex]-COOH[/latex]) of one amino acid to the amino group ([latex]-NH_2[/latex]) of another, releasing a molecule of water in a dehydration synthesis reaction. This amide-type bond is fundamental to forming polypeptide chains, the basis of protein primary structure.
