1.1 A reminder of proteins
Proteins are substances containing at least four elements (C, H, O, N); they include :
Amino acids, basic, non-hydrolysable molecules;
peptides, which are hydrolyzable proteins associated by peptide bonding of a small number of amino acids (less than 10 for oligopeptides and up to 50 or even 100 for polypeptides);
proteins, which are also hydrolyzable protides. They are macromolecules of more than 100 amino acids. A distinction is made between holoproteins, which hydrolyze only amino acids, and heteroproteins, which hydrolyze amino acids plus a different fraction called the prosthetic group.
