Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. The simplest peptides are dipeptides, followed by tripeptides, tetrapeptides, etc. A polypeptide is a long, continuous, and unbranched peptide chain.
Peptides, as we mentioned are made from amino acids. So, intake and production of all the amino acids is necessary for production of all the peptides needed for the body to work efficiently. ... Peptides have many functions in the body, some act like neurotransmitters, others like hormones.
Peptides are naturally occurring biological molecules. ... Like proteins, peptides are formed (synthesized) naturally from transcription of a sequence of the genetic code, DNA.
