Many are pharmacologically active compounds
antibiotics
antitumor
allergens
anti-inflammatory agents
Important components in the discussions of drugs (distribution, action, elimination of drugs)
Closely associated with genetic makeup

Amino acids: contain a basic amino group and an acidic carboxyl group
Peptides: are joined as amides between the -NH2 of one amino acid and the –CO2H to the next amino acid (< 50 units )
Protein: large chains that have structural or catalytic functions in biology
