Usually peptide bonds

Explanation:

When an acid group and an amino group from two molecules react, resulting in 1 large molecule and 1 molecule of water. During these reaction two or more amino acids react together, linking their acid groups to another amino acid's amino group, forming a peptide bond.

Below is a schematic reaction between an amino (NH2) group and an acid group (COOH), with 1 water molecule getting seperated

Below is a schematic reaction between an alcohol group (OH) and an acid group (COOH), with 1 water molecule getting seperated. This kind of reaction is very similar to condensation reactions of non-proteins, often found in other polymers
