Condensation Polymerisation
1. Amino acids are joined by peptide bons which involves the removal of water (dehydration)
2. Water is released and a dipeptide is formed holding the two amino acids together
3. The backbone of the polypeptide chain is formed by the repeats of the carboxyl and amine groups, with the R groups forming the side chains of the polypeptide chain
4. This forms the primary structure of a protein. With further modification and folding, a fully functioning protein can be formed
