Proteins consist of one or more polypeptide chains. Each polypeptide chain consists of smaller subunits or amino acids that are linked together. Amino acids serve as the building blocks of polypeptides, and polypeptides serve as the building blocks of proteins.he differences in these R groups are what help give a polypeptide chain its structure and ultimately its function. The order and arrangement of these amino acids in a polypeptide chain will produce different chemical structures. A protein's structure is essential to its function.
