What are Peptides

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that serve as the building blocks of proteins. In scientific terms, they are molecules made up of 2 to 50 amino acids, linked together by peptide bonds. Due to their small size and powerful biological activity, peptides are widely used in research, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical development.

Scientific Importance

Peptides play a critical role in various biological functions such as:

Cell signaling
Hormone regulation
Immune response
Enzyme activity

In research environments, peptides are used to study:

Protein interactions
Disease mechanisms
Drug development
Biomolecular pathways

Peptides vs. Proteins

While both peptides and proteins are composed of amino acids, peptides are significantly shorter. Proteins are typically made of 50 or more amino acids, whereas peptides are smaller and easier to synthesize, making them ideal for targeted research.

Research Applications

Peptides are essential tools in:

Biomedical research
Cancer studies
Neurological research
Endocrinology
Anti-aging and regenerative experiments
Preclinical pharmaceutical development
