Dasgrunt, by googling "biologic vs biosimilar" and "peptide vs polypeptide vs protein" the first results of each search explain the relationships.


Biologics are medicines made from living cells through highly complex manufacturing processes. ... A biosimilar is exactly what its name implies — it is a biologic that is “similar” to another biologic drug already approved by the FDA.




Amino acids are the basic building blocks of enzymes, hormones, proteins and body tissues. A peptide is a compound consisting of 2 or more amino acids. Polypeptides and proteins are chains of 10 or more amino acids; however, peptides consisting of more than 50 amino acids are classified as proteins.
