What Are Peptides?

What Are Peptides?

A peptide is a molecule made up of two or more amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. It can also be defined as a polymer formed by binding amino acid subunits. A peptide molecule can be biologically active alone or can act as a subunit for a larger molecule....

How Are Research Peptides Used?

Research peptides are essential peptides used for scientific research. They are deemed safe and work well in patients or subjects. They have also been accepted as an effective and practical therapeutic application. This has caused peptides to become highly disabled in...

Understanding Peptide Bonds

Understanding Peptide Bonds

How Is The Bond Created? When two amino acids form a covalent bond, it creates a peptide bond.[1] The Carboxyl group of one amino acid will react with the second amino group of the other amino acid. This essentially forms a peptide bond. Due to this process, a...
