A class of organic compounds consisting of various numbers of amino acids in which the amine of one is reacted with the carboxylic acid of the next to form an amide bond
Two or more amino acids linked together chemically If the number of amino acids is relatively great, the string is sometimes called a polypeptide; a very long string of amino acids is called a protein
amide combining the amino group of one amino acid with the carboxyl group of another; usually obtained by partial hydrolysis of protein
A peptide is any group of compounds consisting of two or more amino acids linked by chemical bonding Peptides in the human body can take the function of hormones (e g antidiuretic hormone),can form proteins, or may have functions in the digestive process (and therefore may be found throughout the body - in the digestive tract, blood, cells and tissues)
A molecule derived from two or more amino acids In the human body, they can be obtained by the partial digestion of proteins
Two or more amino acids, building blocks of proteins, that are chemically linked to each other
Organic compound composed of a series of amino acids linked by peptide bonds (see covalent bond) between a carbon atom of one and a nitrogen atom of the next. Peptide chains longer than a few dozen amino acids are called proteins. Biosynthesis of peptides from a succession of amino acids carried by transfer RNA molecules takes place on ribosomes and is catalyzed and controlled by enzymes. Many hormones, antibiotics, and other compounds that participate in life processes are peptides
Macromolecule consisting of several amino acids linked via amide bonds between their COOH and NH2 groups Peptides do not necessarily adopt a defined spatial structure (in contrast to proteins), but the difference is blurred
Two or more amino acids chained together by a bond called a "peptide bond " A protein is a long chain of amino acids joined together in this way, and therefore is sometimes referred to as a "polypeptide " Some proteins contain more than one polypeptide chain Source : Human Genome Projet Information; PhRMA Genomics
a short compound formed by linking two or more amino acids Proteins are made of multiple peptides
The coavlent bond between the amino group of one amino acid and the carboxyl bond of another
A molecule consisting of 2 to approximately 20 amino acids connected by peptide bonds; a short segment of a larger protein or a completely functional molecule unto itself
compound formed by incomplete hydrolysis of a protein, or by elimination of the elements of water from between the alpha-carboxy and the alpha-amino groups of alpha-amino acids to form a linear polymer
Two or more amino acids joined by a bond called a "peptide bond " See also: polypeptide
(Biochemistry) peptide linkage, bond that joins two amino acids (the carboxylic group from one acid joins with the amino group of the second creating a CONH bond)
The chemical bond formed between the carboxyl groups and amino groups of neighboring amino acids, constituting the primary linkage of all protein structures
