What is Peptide?
'''Peptides''' are [[organic chemistry|organic chemical]] [[molecule]]s. They are [[polymer]]s made from linking [[amino acid]]s together in a certain order. The link between one amino acid residue and the next is known as an [[amide]] [[chemical bond|bond]] or a [[peptide bond]]. Linking peptides together gives [[protein]]s, which are ''[[Polypeptide|polypeptides]]''. [[File:Glycylglycine.png|thumb|[[Skeletal formula]] of Gly-Gly. The peptide bond is between the carbon that is double bonded to the oxygen, and the nitrogen.]] [[Gly-Gly]], or [[Glycylglycine]] is (a dipeptide and also) the simplest peptide; It is the dipeptide of [[Glycine]].<ref>https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/anie.201702425.
