284:" basically mean the same thing. I think the most relevant parameter should be whether a polypeptide posses secondary and tertiary structure, unfortunately there are decades worth of conflicting definitions of "peptide" vs "protein" in the way of that. Also, for what it's worth small peptides can be genetically encoded too, so that doesn't really work either.

It's there. THe aim is preponderance of reliable secondary and tertiary sourcing. Take all the v good/classic grad texts you can—Branden and Tooze, Creighton, Fersht, Robert
Copeland, Cantor and Schimmel, etc—read the relevant intro sections, and just write it. You'll get feedback. You two have the

It would be nice if we could say that a protein is a polypeptide that is codified by DNA of some living organism, while a peptide is not (being for example the product of the degradation of a protein by means of a protease)... which would be unambiguous, but I cannot find this definition in the

Hi, i guess you are right with your edit summary, however, the main point were about the other edits, which you apparently reverted. Are you suggesting that oligopeptides, with only a few amino acids are also called polypeptides, which are defined to have many amino acids?
