Peptide bond

A peptide bond is the amide linkage joining amino acid residues in the peptide backbone. It helps define chemical class; it is not a quality grade or an intended-use designation.

Reading example

A small molecule displayed in a peptide catalogue does not become a peptide because of that grouping. Check the chemical structure and full identity.
