====Forming Proteins====
: '''Condensation polymerisation''' [[Chemical Reaction|reactions]] of [[Peptide]]s ([[Amino Acid]]s) [[product|produce]] [[Polypeptide]]s ([[ProtienProtein]]s) and [[Water]].
: Each [[Amino Acid]] has an NH<sub>2</sub> [[Functional Group|group]] which acts as a [[base]] and an -COOH [[Functional Group|group]] which acts as an [[acid]]. These [[Functional Group|functional groups]] [[Chemical Reaction|react]] to [[Product|produce]] [[Polypeptide]]s and [[Water]].
n x Peptides → Polypeptide + Water
