Two amino acids joined together is known as
Dipeptide
Where does the peptide bond between the two amino acids form
Between the H molecule in one of the amino acids amine group and between the OH molecule in the other amino acids carboxylic group
What is given off when two amino acids join via condensation to make a dipeptide
One molecule of water
