Peptides are short polymers of amino acid monomers linked via a Peptide link or bond. Amino acids in a peptide are called residues as water is produced when the peptide link is formed. They can be as short as two amino acids (dipeptide) and are distinguished from proteins due to there shorter length (<50 a. acids).
