- As we’ve discussed, a peptide bond is made when amino group of one amino acid combines with the carboxylic acid group of another amino acid (releasing a water molecule in the process). The C-N bond formed in this process is called a peptide bond. Peptide bonds have a few properties that might be unexpected. a) One property is that the molecular geometries around the C and N atom in the peptide bond are generally planar with bond angles of approximately 120 degrees. Provide an explanation for why the peptide bond would have this property, using Lewis structures, VSEPR theory and/or valence bond theory as appropriate.arrow_forward7.
