Polypeptides are short chains of amino acids, they have no functionality as a protein (long amino acid) would have.
A chain of 67 amino acids would be called a peptide or a polypeptide, depending on the context in which it is being referred to. Peptides typically consist of fewer than 50 amino acids, while polypeptides are longer chains of amino acids.
a chain of 25 amino acids can be called a peptide chain ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two or united amino acids form a *dipeptide* Three a *tripeptide* Ten or more a *polypeptide* More than 50 *protine* Therefore a chain of 25 amino acids is a polypeptide :D
Chains of amino acids are referred to as polypeptides. Proteins are created from one or more of these polypeptide molecules.
A polypeptide is a chain of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. It is not a sequence of proteins, but rather a precursor to protein formation. When a polypeptide chain folds into a specific structure, it becomes a functional protein.
Polypeptides are chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds.
No, a polypeptide is not an amino acid. A polypeptide is a chain of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and are the individual units that make up a polypeptide chain.
a polypeptide is ten or more amino acids bonded together
The building block unit of a polypeptide chain is an amino acid. Amino acids are organic compounds containing an amine group and a carboxylic acid group, along with a side chain that is specific to each amino acid. Multiple amino acids are linked together via peptide bonds to form a polypeptide chain.
A polypeptide is a chain of amino acids linked by peptide bonds, with a molecular weight of up to about 10,000. It is composed of amino acids.
Short sequence of amino acids. Insulin is a polypeptide of about 53 [amino-acid] residues; it is like Pluto - is it a protein or not?
polypeptide chains!
Amino acids form chains which are called proteins.
