  1. Amino Acids

  2. Dehydration reaction (condensation) -- two amino acids linked together. • enzymes necessary • link is between carboxyl group on one a.a. and the amino group on the other. • water is formed and remaining N and C link together with a peptide bond • the beginning of the polypeptide is called the N terminal (the free amino end) and the end is the C terminal (the free carboxyl end).

  3. See Fig. 3.15 in text

  4. End result -- a protein!
