Definition |
||
1. | An organic compound which is made up of amino acids and contains carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen, are essential for human growth, these are known as Proteins. | A short polymers of amino acid which are linked by peptide bonds, and every peptide contains C-terminus and N-terminus residue, these are known as Peptides. |
Presence of bonds amino acids |
||
2. | Bonds such as disulphide bond and hydrogen bond are present between the amino acids. | In the peptides, only peptide bond is present between the amino acids. |
Amino acids |
||
3. | The protein contains more than 50 amino acids. | The peptide contains less than 50 amino acids. |
Long or short chain |
||
4. | This can be long of short chain. | This is short chain. |
Made up of |
||
5. | This is made up twenty essential amino acids. | This is made up of essential amino acids and other amino acids (which occurs naturally). |
Functions |
