The -CO-NH- (amide) linkage that forms between the amino acids is known as
a peptide bond or peptide linkage (page 1153). Amino acids, when joined in
this way are called amino acid residues. What are they called when they
are free? If they can exist in the free form what would the structure
of it be?
