Observation of Molecular Self-Assembly of Peptides and Understanding the Mechanism of Seamlessly Bridging Biology with a Technological Solid

What is a peptide, and how is it different than a protein? Just like a protein, a peptide also has a chain of natural amino acids, but it is much shorter, say 10-30 units, compared to those in proteins, which could be hundreds and thousands of units long.
