What are peptides?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. The sequence and chemical properties of these amino acids influence peptide structure, stability, and biological activity. In biological systems, peptides can function as signaling molecules, hormones, antimicrobial agents, and structural regulators. Peptable organizes peptide information by sequence, mechanism, and functional classification to make it easier to explore relationships between peptides and their biological roles. The site also includes amino acid references and sequence visualization tools to help illustrate how amino acid composition contributes to peptide function.
