• Peptides are short chains of amino acid monomers
linked by peptide (amide) bonds, the covalent chemical
bonds formed when the carboxyl group of one amino
acid reacts with the amino group of another. Peptides
are distinguished from proteins on the basis of size,
and as a benchmark can be understood to contain
approximately 50 amino acids or less.
