Every living cell, from the smallest bacterium to the complex human organism, contains nucleic acids. These essential biopolymers, including DNA and RNA, are responsible for carrying and expressing genetic information. But where does the body primarily get the materials to build them?

According to the National Institutes of Health, the process of biochemical synthesis from an amino acid structure to a final protein is a fundamental biological process. This cellular machinery is what drives the intricate relationship between peptides and proteins. But does this mean peptides can simply 'turn into' proteins?
