peptidic
Peptidic is an adjective used in chemistry and biochemistry to describe substances derived from or closely related to peptides. A peptide is a short chain of amino acids linked by peptide bonds, which are covalent amide bonds formed between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of the next. The term peptidic is often used to distinguish such molecules from non-peptide polymers or inorganic compounds.
Peptidic substances can be small peptides, larger polypeptides, or peptide-like backbones found in peptidomimetics. They may
Applications and challenges: Peptidic materials form the basis of many biomaterials and nanostructures. Short, self-assembling peptides
