When two amino acids are chemically joined together what is the resulting structure?

Answer 1

The chemical process in which two amino acids are chemically bonded is dehydration synthesis, in which one amino acid loses an -OH group and the other loses a -H atom which together form a molecule of water, leaving the nitrogen atom of one amino acid to bond with the carbon atom of the carboxyl group of the other amino acid, which forms a peptide bond, which forms a dipeptide. Refer to the following website for a labeled diagram showing the formation of a dipeptide.

Answer 2

When two amino acids are chemically joined together, they form a peptide bond. This bond is formed between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another amino acid, resulting in a dipeptide. Subsequent joining of more amino acids forms longer peptide chains or proteins.

Answer 3

technically, a dipeptide
