What is polypeptide?

Answer 1

The official definition of a polypeptide is a linear organic polymer consisting of a large number of amino-acid residues bonded together in a chain, forming part of (or the whole of) a protein molecule. (a string of amino acids)

Answer 2

For sure protein is made from a sequence of amino acids. A polypeptide is a short protein. {Example = Insulin = 53 amino acids}. The peptide [-C-C-N-] bond is what makes a protein 'unique'.

The primary structure of polypeptides and proteins is the sequence of amino acids in the polypeptide and/or protein chain.

Answer 3

There's nothing called "polypeptide bond" but peptide bond, which is a bond between the amide nitrogen and carbonyl carbon of two amino acids, formed by losing one molecule of water.

Answer 4

Yes, a polypeptide is a polymer. It usually is formed as a long chain of amino acids, which are the monomers.

Answer 5

A polypeptide is a chain of amino acids that are joined together by peptide bonds.

Answer 6

A polypeptide is a chain of amino acids bonded together by peptide bonds.

Answer 7

Its decoding of mRNA into protiens.

Answer 8

Two or more amino acids bound together.
