What is a GDSL-lipase polypeptide?

A GDSL-lipase polypeptide is a type of enzyme that belongs to the GDSL lipase family. It has lipase activity, meaning it can catalyze the hydrolysis of ester bonds in lipids. These enzymes play a role in various biological processes including lipid metabolism and plant defense mechanisms.


What would biochemists call the result of chaining many of the molecules together?

This is called polymerization. If the "molecules" being chained together are amino acids, then Des Dichado is correct, and it is a polypeptide. If the molecules are sugars (monosaccharides), then it is a carbohydrate. If the molecules are fatty acids, then it is a lipid.

What is the correct order smallest to largest protein - amino acid - polypeptide?

The correct order from smallest to largest is: amino acid, polypeptide, protein. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, which are made up of one or more polypeptide chains. The polypeptide chains fold and interact to form the final protein structure.
