Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, and when they are linked together through peptide bonds, they form peptides. Peptides can vary in length, from just a few amino acids to hundreds or even thousands. The specific sequence of amino acids determines the structure and function of the peptide. Peptides can be classified based on their size, such as dipeptides (two amino acids), tripeptides Read More...
