Peptide 101
You do not need a scientific background to understand the record. We will introduce the essential ideas one at a time and explain every technical term as it appears.
What this pathway does
Peptide 101 teaches the distinctions that matter throughout Relay: structure versus function, mechanism versus outcome, mass versus volume, evidence type versus evidence quality, and one laboratory measurement versus another.
The six-guide path
Nothing is locked. The order builds naturally, but every guide can stand on its own.
Start with the basic structure—and why the word peptide tells you less than it may seem.
