Amino Acid:Amino acids are the fundamental units that make up proteins, consisting of a central carbon atom bonded to an amino group, a carboxyl group, and a side chain that varies between different amino acids.
Peptide:A peptide is a short chain of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds, forming the basic structure of proteins.
Edman Degradation:The Edman Degradation is a chemical method used to determine the amino acid sequence of a peptide or protein by sequentially removing and identifying the amino acids from the N-terminus.
