	Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. By convention, a '''peptide''' is not more than 30-50 amino acids in length. Longer chains of amino acids are called polypeptides or proteins. Wikipedia offers a good discussion of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peptide peptides, with examples].
