Peptides are organic compounds, like proteins, only shorter. Just like proteins, peptides are polymers consisting of amino acids. Amino acids in peptides are chained together with amino group of one amino acid bonding to carboxyl group of the next amino acid. This type bond is commonly referred to as peptide bond... Peptides play important roles in living organisms. Most hormones, for example, are peptides... Each letter in the sequence corresponds to one amino acid. In this sequence, from right to left, we see: F - which stands for Phenylalanine, then E - Glutamic Acid, then L - Lysine, etc, etc, until we reach S - Serine, at the very left.
