Basically, proteins are long chains of amino acids, which are linked together through a chemical bond known as a peptide bond. They can be hundreds of amino acids in length. Peptides, which qualify as proteins, are just shorter chains of amino acids, generally between 2 and 100 amino acids. In biochemistry, amino acids are also referred to as residues; thus a 5 residue polypeptide is just a 5 amino acid long peptide, linked together with a peptide bond between each residue.

What is the definition of carbon residue?
Carbon residue is deposits of solid black residue from burnt carbon.
Proteins with more than one polypeptide chain have what structure?
Proteins with more than one polypeptide chain have a quaternary structure. This structure is formed by the assembly of multiple polypeptide chains into a functional protein complex. The interactions between the individual polypeptide chains contribute to the overall structure and function of the protein.
Is there a difference between residue on ignition vs. residue on evaporation?
Yes. The residue left is material that did not ignite or products of the ignition reaction.The residue remaining after evaporation is the non-volatile substances in the solutionsubjected to the evaporation.
What contains information to produce a single polypeptide?
Messenger RNA (mRNA) contains the information needed to produce a single polypeptide during translation. The sequence of nucleotides in the mRNA molecule is translated by ribosomes to determine the order of amino acids in the polypeptide chain. This process occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.
How would you use the world residue in a sentences?
After cooking, a sticky residue was left on the bottom of the pan.
What is formed when 5 amino acids are joined together?
Polypeptide chain
Why polypeptide chains are always called as protein but Proteins are not always polypeptide chains?
Peptides (from the Greek πεπτίδια, "small digestibles") are short polymers formed from the linking, in a defined order, of α-amino acids. The link between one amino acid residue and the next is known as an amide bond or a peptide bond. Proteins are polypeptide molecules (or consist of multiple polypeptide subunits). The distinction is that peptides are short and polypeptides/proteins are long.
How are tRNA polypeptide and anticodon related?
tRNA is a type of RNA molecule that carries amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis. The tRNA has an anticodon sequence that is complementary to the mRNA codon, allowing it to base pair with the mRNA and ensure the correct amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain.
Is protein larger in size compared to a polypeptide?
A protein is a polypeptide.
A chain of 67amino acids would be called?
A polypeptide.
What is another name for a protein chain?
the answer would be.... polypeptide
What chain is sequences of amino acids that is the foundation for the basic structure of a protein?
polypeptide chain
What is the correct order smallest to largest protein - amino acid - polypeptide?
Amino acids---->peptide---->polypeptide--->protein.

What are the release dates for Residue This Ain't No Song and Dance - 2013?
Residue This Ain't No Song and Dance - 2013 was released on: USA: 5 November 2013
How many amino acid fragments will be produced from this polypeptide if it is incubated with a mixture of trypsin and v8 protease?
5
Is polypeptide an amino acid?
Polypeptide is a part of an amino acid. Check out -> Deamination.
