Despite these data and later evidence that proteolytically digested proteins yielded only oligopeptides, the idea that proteins were linear, unbranched polymers of amino acids was not accepted immediately.
A pesar destes datos e de evidencias posteriores de que as proteínas dixeridas proteoliticamente rendían só oligopéptidos, a idea de que as proteínas eran cadeas liñais non ramificadas, polímeros de aminoácidos non foi aceptada inmediatamente.
