Best Answer

Proteins, also known as polypeptides, are polymers of individual amino acids (peptides). The number of amino acids in the protein chain varies widely.

There are dipeptides (2 amino acids), oligopeptides (with a small number of amino acids beyond 2), and full-scale polypeptides (which typically contain many amino acids).
