• 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.
