Peptide
Peptides (from the
Greek πεπτίδια, "small digestibles") are short
polymers formed from the linking, in a defined order, of α-
amino acids. The link between one amino acid residue and the next is known as an
amide bond or a
peptide bond.
Proteins are polypeptide
molecules (or consist of multiple polypeptide subunits). The distinction is that peptides are short and polypeptides/proteins are long. There are several different conventions to determine these, all of which have flaws.
