Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
The amino group of one amino acid faces the carboxyl group of another. The H of one amino acid and OH of another are joined to form a water molecule and a peptide bond is formed between the two. This process goes on and after the joining of 100 or so amino acids a proteins molecule is formed. This is done by a petidyl transferase enzyme.

amino acids are the building blocks. They first form shorter chains called peptides and then combine further to form proteins.

Proteins are polymers of amino acids. Its amino acid sequence is the major determinant of its shape and therefore its function.

amino acids which combine in a specific sequence to produce proteins, which are joined together by peptide bonds. its a molecule that has both the amine (NH2)and carboxyl (COOH) terminal groups.
