I know that Protein molecules have Hyrdrogen, Oxygen and Carbon elements..but the relationship between them I'm not sure..
i think that In both amino acids and proteins one end of each molecule is a carboxyl end which is COOH, and the other end is just an -OH ending..
To combine Protein molecules to other protein molecules, and to combine amino acids to other amino acids, you have to take a Hydrogen element off one end and a Oxygen and Hyrdrogen off the other end to put them together, and thats called Dehydration synthesis
