The Peptides are naturally occurring biological moleculesmade up of short chains of amino acid residues carry secondarystructure of protein. In typical peptides, when 30-40
…amino acidsare linked together by Peptides bonds, several watermolecules are released. The shortest peptides are dipeptides,consisting of 2 amino acids joined by a single peptide bond,followed by tripeptides, tetrapeptides, oligopeptides andpolypeptides etc. Therefore, a polypeptide is a long,continuous, unbranched peptide chain contains approximately 50 orfewer amino acids distinguished from proteins on the basis of size,an arbitrary benchmark used to understand the difference betweenthe two.
