Peptides and Probable Degradation Pathways



 These are naturally occurring biological molecules. peptides are made up of smaller molecular sequences of amino acids. When a molecule consists of 2 to 50 amino acids it is called a peptide. They are classified by the number of amino acid components in the sequence, called amino acid residues. Tripeptides have three amino acid residues while tetrapeptides have four. A polypeptide is formed when the chain of amino acid links exceeds several dozen in length.
