6.1 Presentation
The biochemical classification of proteins is as follows.
Amino acids are the non-hydrolysable basic molecules of proteins. Standard amino acids are linked by condensation to form the other two groups. But there are also non-standard amino acids that are not protein building blocks.
Peptides are hydrolyzable proteins made up of a few amino acids in oligopeptides (less than 10) or a larger number in polypeptides (from 10 to 50).
Proteins are hydrolyzable protides with sequences of more than 50 (some authors 100) amino acids. Their molecular mass often exceeds 10 kD, and these substances are essentially macromolecules. A distinction is made between holoproteins,...
