What is the smallest functional and structural unit of protein?

The smallest structural unit of a protein is the amino acid. The smallest functional unit of a protein is a little ambiguous, because some might consider the amino acid to be functional (after all, some can function as neurotransmitters). Or, some might consider the peptide (di, tri, etc) to be a functional unit. One could argue what exactly is the smallest functional unit of a protein.
