When amino acids combine to form proteins or polypeptides a condensation reaction occurs. The carboxyl group of one molecule reacts with the amine group of the other molecule. One molecule of water is released and this results in C(O)NH, or a peptide bond.

Condensation is the reaction: the opposite process is termed Hydrolysis.

The amono acids is the proteins'monomers , they have amin and carboxyle group . in order to make a poly peptide ( or protein) , one amin group ( release H) of one amino acid make a peptide bond( which is Covalent ) with the carboxyle( release OH) group of another amino acid . for each peptide bond that formed one H2O is releaseing.

Amino acids join together and peptide bonds are formed in a type of reaction called a condensation reaction. It is called a condensation reaction because a molecule of water is eliminated for every individual reaction and so for each peptide bond formed.

It is a dehydration reaction (a type of condensation reaction); a molecule of water is eliminated to form the peptide bond.
