Introduction Definition of Peptides Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds, typically consisting of 2 to ...

Within a protein, multiple amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds, thereby forming a long chain. Peptide bonds are formed by a biochemical reaction that extracts a water molecule as it ...

Central in many of these investigations is the analysis of biologically active peptides--chains of amino acids ranging from as few as two to more than 50 acids. Since these peptides can't be derived ...
