The elongation of the protein is a simple repetition of the condensation reaction shown in @fig_xtpcpp-peptide-bond-formation, granted that the elongation #emph[always] proceeds in the described direction (a new monomer arrives to the right end of the elongating polymer, and elongation is done from left to right).

Now we should point at a protein chemistry-specific terminology issue: we
have seen that a protein is a polymer made of a number of monomers, called
#emph[amino acids]. In protein chemistry, there is a
subtlety: once an amino acid has been polymerized into a protein, it is no
more called an amino acid, but is called a #emph[residue]
instead. We may say that a residue is an amino acid less a water
molecule. ]
