An amino acid is a structural unit. A peptide contains amino acids linked in a chain, while a protein usually has a larger structure and more complex functional organisation. An analogue is a molecule modified to study specific properties or interactions.
Accurate classification
Not every product shown alongside peptides is itself a peptide. PeptidaLab therefore separates non-peptide compounds into a distinct category and displays the classification on each product page.
