An amino acid is made out of a carboxylic acid group, a side chain and an amine group. When two amino acids approach each other the carboxylic acid’s oxygen that is not in a double bond and one of the hydrogens from the amine group to form a water molecule and break away from the molecule. Then the amino acids form a peptide bond between the Nitrogen in the amine group and the carbon in the Carboxylic acid group.
