Peptides are short chains of amino acids, typically consisting of 2 to 50 amino acid residues, linked together by peptide bonds. They are distinguished from proteins primarily by their shorter length, though the boundary between the two is not strictly defined. In the context of biological research, peptides serve as critical signaling molecules. They act […]
