...A general term for compounds in which two or more amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds. A peptide bond is formed when one molecule of water is removed from the amino group of an amino acid and the carboxyl group of the adjacent amino acid, forming a covalent bond. Peptides of various lengths exist in nature, each with its own specific biological activity. Depending on the number of amino acid residues, they are called dipeptides (2), tripeptides (3), tetrapeptides (4), etc., but those with several or more are generally referred to as polypeptides, and polypeptides consisting of 50 or more amino acid residues are classified as proteins. *Some of the glossaries that mention "Old Hebrew" are listed below.
