I was doing some tests for the multiple-choice final we've got ahead. And it was on me to count the peptide bonds in an Insulin hormone with 51 aminoacids arranged in two polypeptides with 30 and 21 aminoacids. (these are not true in reality)
the number of bonds were 49, not 50, and that means the bond between two polypeptides doesn't count as a peptide bond. Additionally, I know that polypeptide bonds make the proteins' molecular structure, as it is now. (just look at that shape.:)) PEPTIDE COVALENT BONDS CAN NEVER cause that kind of 3d orientation in space. So there must be some fundamental difference between those bonds. What is it?
The question may seem trivial, but good answers are appreciated. MyMy research couldn't find any results as simple things have jammed the internet.

The difference between peptide bonds and the bonds between polypeptides?
