Amphipeptone

/æmfɪˈpɛptoʊn/ noun

Definition

A peptide or protein fragment with reactive groups at both ends, or a compound formed during protein digestion that has dual chemical properties.

Etymology

From 'amphi-' (both) + 'peptone' (a protein breakdown product from Greek 'peptikos' meaning digestible). Coined in 19th-century biochemistry to describe intermediate protein degradation products.

Kelly Says

When your stomach breaks down meat, it creates peptones—amphipeptone is the special ones with 'grabby' ends that can react with other molecules, making them chemistry superstars in old lab experiments.
