A peptide is an organic molecule consisting of two or more amino acids linked through an amide linkage called a peptide bond. Peptides are formed when the amino group (-NH2) of one amino acid, links with the carboxyl group (-COOH) of an adjacent amino...

A polypeptide is a chain of amino acids joined together by amide linkages called peptide bonds. They are intermediate in length between oligopeptides containing several amino acids and proteins with more than fifty. The peptide bond (-CO-NH-) forms...
A chemical compound consisting of two or more amino acids joined to each other through a bond between the nitrogen atom of one amino acid to an oxygen atom of its neighbor. A more precise term describes the number of amino acid units involved. A...
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...
