Short Chain Amino Acid Monomers Connected by Amide Bonds: Peptides

Natalie Rose*

Peptides are naturally happening short chains of amino acid monomers associated by amide bonds. Peptides may help build quality and muscle mass. Peptides are short strings of amino acids, generally comprising few amino acids. Amino acids are also building blocks of proteins, but proteins contain more. Peptides may be simpler for the body to retain than proteins because they are littler and more broken down than proteins.
