The fluffy (fl) gene of ''
Neurospora crassa'' is required for
asexual sporulation and encodes an 88 kDa
polypeptide
Peptides (, ) are short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. Long chains of amino acids are called proteins. Chains of fewer than twenty amino acids are called oligopeptides, and include dipeptides, tripeptides, and tetrapeptides.
