The alpha amino acids polymerize, or bond, through the elimination of a water molecule. Polymers composed of two amino acid residues are known as dipeptides. Longer polymers are called oligopeptides (up to around 20 amino acids) or polypeptides (> 20 amino acids). Proteins can contain any number of amino acids linked together but each has a unique length (number of amino acids) and sequence (the identity and order of amino acids in the polymer). | The alpha amino acids polymerize, or bond, through the elimination of a water molecule.
