Peptide (Anti Aging)

A compound of two or more amino acids where the alpha carboxyl group of one is bound to the alpha amino group of another.

Peptide (Beauty)

Any member of a class of compounds of low molecular weight that yield two or more amino acids on hydrolysis. Peptides form the constituent parts of proteins.

Peptide (Bioinformatics)

A short stretch of amino acids each covalently coupled by a peptide (amide) bond.

Peptide (Cancer)

Any compound consisting of two or more amino acids, the building blocks of proteins.

Peptide (Dairy Production)

1. At least 2 but not more that 100 amino acids linked together by a peptic bound. 2. Product of pepsin digestion of proteins.

Peptide (Diabetes)

Two or more amino acids linked together chemically. If the number of amino acids is relatively great, the string is sometimes called a polypeptide; a very long string of amino acids is called a protein.

Peptide (Genetics and Genealogy)

Two or more amino acids joined by a peptide bond. Compare to Protein. See Amino Acid.

Peptide (Genome)

Two or more amino acids joined by a bond called a "peptide bond."
See also: polypeptide

Peptide (HIV and AIDs)

A short sequence of AMINO ACIDS.

Peptide (Health and Beauty)

Any member of a class of compounds of low molecular weight that yield two or more amino acids on hydrolysis. Peptides form the constituent parts of proteins.

Peptide (Horse Health)

A short chain of amino acids; peptides form the building blocks of proteins.

Peptide (Lymphoma)

Any compound consisting of two or more amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Peptides are
combined to make proteins.

Peptide (Microbiology)

A molecule formed by peptide bonds covalently linking two or more amino acids. Short peptides (generally less than 60 amino acid residues, and usually only half that length) can be chemically synthesized by one of several different methods; larger peptides (more correctly, polypeptides) are usually expressed from recombinant DNA.

Peptide (Prostate Cancer)

A compound of two or more amino acids where the alpha carboxyl group of one is bound to the alpha amino group of another

Peptide (Psychoactives)

1. A compound containing two or more amino acids in which the carboxyl group is one acid linked to the amino group of the other.
