- Translation
What is Translation? Once transcription occurs translation has to then do its job in the ribosomes by taking the base code of a mRNA molecule and translating a peptide into a chain of amino acids. This is how it works: Molecules of mRNA come out of the...
- #12. Proteins - Amino Acids, Peptid Bonds
Proteins are large molecules made of long chains of amino acids. 1. Amino acids All proteins have the same basic structure. They consist of an Amino Group (NH2), an Carboxyl group (COOH), and a Carbon in the middle which bonds with a Hydrogen...

peptide
Term: peptide
Literally meaning: ?product of digestion?
Origin: Anc Greek
>?????/pepto(=digest)
+????/-idio(=ide, suffix meaning a member or a part of group)
Coined/History
The name probably derived by the process of getting peptids (hydrolysis/digestion of proteins).
Definition
Peptide is a low weight polymer composed of two (dipeptide) or more amino acids joined by peptide bonds consisting parts of proteins
