Peptides are distinguished from proteins on the basis of size, and as an arbitrary benchmark can be understood to contain approximately 50 or fewer amino acids. Hence, peptides fall under the broad chemical classes of biological oligomers and polymers, alongside nucleic acids, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides, etc. A polypeptide is a long, continuous, and unbranched peptide chain. The shortest peptides are dipeptides, consisting of 2 amino acids joined by a single peptide bond, followed by tripeptides, tetrapeptides, etc. The covalent chemical bonds are formed when the carboxyl group of one amino acid reacts with the amine group of another. Peptides (from Gr.: πεπτός, peptós “digested” derived from πέσσειν, péssein “to digest”) are biologically occurring short chains of amino acid monomers linked by peptide (amide) bonds.

Red Creek originates in Lamar County and flows southeastward through Pearl River, Forrest, Stone, George, and Jackson counties. A portion of Red Creek has been designated a State Scenic Stream by the Mississippi Legislature.
