Peptides and proteins are both made from amino acids and play essential roles in biological systems. While they are closely related, they differ in size, structure, and function, which makes each useful for different purposes—especially in scientific research.

Understanding the distinction between peptides and proteins helps clarify why peptides are widely used as targeted tools in laboratory and experimental settings.
