Condensation Reaction is the procees by which two molecules may come together and a molecule of water is produced. For example in the during the condensation reaction of amino acids, two (or more) amino acids come together forming a dipeptide through a peptide bond. One amino acid loses its OH group while the other loses its H group, therfore producing a water molecule (H-OH) as one of the products of this reaction.
