Difference between peptones, proteoses,and peptides.

Open in App

Solution

Peptide refers to at least two amino acids joined by amide bonds.

Proteoses are products of acid proteolysis which precipitate with saturating ammonium sulfate.

Peptones are products of acid proteolysis which do not precipitate with saturating ammonium sulfate.

While peptide is a term of significant relevance today, proteose and peptone are anachronistic.
