Peptide bonds are indeed a special type of amide bond formed between the amino group of one amino acid and the carboxylic acid group of another, with the release of water (a condensation reaction). They are stable bonds, partly because of the resonance structure that allows the electrons to be delocalized over the bond, increasing its stability.
