PRoteins are formed as polypeptides from ribosomes. The polypeptide undergoes biophysical and chemical changes to get 2D and further 3D structure. So proteins in general, are polypeptides that are folded with cetrain stable conformation.

How are peptides transported in the blood?

Peptides are transported in the blood mainly by binding to carrier proteins or circulating freely. Carrier proteins can protect peptides from being broken down and can help regulate their distribution and delivery to specific target tissues. Peptides can also be taken up by cells for further processing and utilization.

Where are proteins broken down?

Protein broken down to peptides in stomach. Proteases such as pepsin, trypsin catalyze the breaking down of proteins to peptides. enteropeptidases cut down these peptides to amino acids. All the proteins and enzymes are coded in Genomic DNA.


Are polypeptides a carbohydrate?

No. Peptides are strings of amino acids. These proteins (peptides) are folded and coiled into polypeptides.
