Say you're looking at cysteine and serine.
Two possible combinations are: cysteine's NH2 group bonds to serine's COOH group OR cysteine's COOH group bonds to serine's NH2 group. These two different combinations of the order of the molecules makes them totally different. They are called isomers. :)

∙ 11y agoThe bond between two amino acids is called a peptide bond. Any length of amino acids strung together by peptide bonds is called, generally, a peptide. Two amino acids held together by a peptide bond is called a dipeptide.

What does a dipeptide amino acid look like?
Basically a dipeptide is two molecules of an amino acid. It looks like two joined amino acids. A regular amino acid contains a carboxyl group, an amino group and a variable group
Covalent bond between 2 amino acids?
A bond between two amino acids is called a Peptide bond. Two or more amino acids joined in this way is called a polypeptide. The COOH (carboxyl) group of one amino acid joins with the H2N (Amino) group of another Amino Acid to bond and condense out a water molecule (H2O) and so is called condensation polymersation
What type of bonds hold together amino acids in a protein?
Amino acids are held together by peptide bonds, which are covalent bonds formed through dehydration synthesis or condensation reactions. It forms between the amino terminus of one amino acid's backbone and the carboxyl terminus of another amino acid's backbone.
What do you call the covalent bonds that produce polypeptide's primary structure?
The covalent bonds between amino acids are called peptide bonds. It is a bond between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another amino acid. Amino acids are bonded through condensation reactions, which produces a water molecule.
The attachment of a carboxylic acid group of one amino acid to the amino acid group of another forms a connection called?
An amide bond forming a chain of peptides. Peptide bond is only a special amide bond name for this particular bonding.
WHich of these is the smallest.?
Dipeptide,amino acid,polypeptide,protein Amino Acid is the answer
What is smaller amino acid protein dipeptide or polypeptide?
Amino Acid
What is the smallest structure between dipeptide amino acid polypeptide and protein?
Amino acid = Smallest building block of proteins; 20 of them. In this order. Amino acid < dipeptide ( two peptides ) < polypeptide (many peptides ) < Protein
What is the smallest structure of a animal?
Dipeptide,amino acid,polypeptide,protein Amino Acid is the answer
What is the name given to an amino acid when added to a dipetide?
When two amino acids are linked with a peptide bond it is called a dipeptide, when the third amino acid come and joins them it will be then a tripeptide.
What two amino acids form when they join together?
One is water. This is because in order for two amino acids to join, an OH form one and a H form another amino acid have to be removed forming H2O. This is why it's called a condensation reaction.The other molecule is a dipeptide, whenever two amino acids join it forms a dipeptide. Many amino acids joined forms a polypeptide and then pant polypeptides interacting form a protein.
What is the term used to describe the molecule formed by condensing only two amino acid?
Dipeptide
Is amino acid is a polymer or monomer?
an amino acid is a monomer.. it joins together to form a dipeptide.. which joins together to form a polypeptide polypeptide - otherwise known as a polymer
When two amino acids are chemically joined together what is the resulting structure?
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.http://study.com/academy/lesson/dipeptide-definition-formation-structure.html

A polymer made of hundreds of amino acid monomers is called an?
A polymer formed of amino acids is a polypeptide (named from the numerous peptide bonds in the chain; one peptide bond links two amino acids). Two amino acids joined form a dipeptide, hundreds of amino acids form a polypeptide.
