  2. Peptide Building Blocks Peptide building blocks, also known as amino acid building blocks, are the individual components that makeup peptides and proteins. Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds, while proteins are larger chains of amino acids. Amino acids are organic compounds that contain an amino group (-NH2), a carboxyl group (-COOH), and a side chain or R-group. There are 20 commonly occurring amino acids that serve as the building blocks for peptides and proteins in living organisms. Each amino acid has a unique side chain, which gives it specific chemical properties.

  3. Peptide Building Blocks The 20 amino acids can be classified into different groups based on their side chains. These groups include: • Non-polar, aliphatic amino acids: Glycine, Alanine, Valine, Leucine, Isoleucine, Methionine, and Proline. • Aromatic amino acids: Phenylalanine, Tyrosine, and Tryptophan. • Polar, uncharged amino acids: Serine, Threonine, Cysteine, Asparagine, and Glutamine. • Positively charged (basic) amino acids: Lysine, Arginine, and Histidine. • Negatively charged (acidic) amino acids: Aspartic acid and Glutamic acid.

  4. Peptide Building Blocks These amino acids can combine in different sequences and lengths to form an immense variety of peptides and proteins, each with its unique structure and function. The specific sequence of amino acids in a peptide or protein determines its three-dimensional structure and, consequently, its biological activity.

  5. Scientists and researchers often use peptide building blocks to synthesize custom peptides for various applications, such as pharmaceutical development, biochemical research, and peptide-based therapies. These building blocks can be obtained commercially or synthesized in the laboratory using organic chemistry techniques. Peptide Building Blocks
