A polypeptide is a string of amino acids linked together.
Amino acids are the basic building blocks of proteins. A single polypeptide chain might make up the entire primary structure of a simple protein; more complex proteins are formed when two or more polypeptides link together.
Polypeptides are made when mRNA is translated during translation, a process involving ribosomes, tRNA and amino acids.
