Having been acused on several occassions of getting "too technical," I
suspect we may be pressing the upper limits of technicalities here, but also wanted to add:
From Wikpedia:
(because even I had to check my assumptions)
"a peptide is an amino acid molecule without secondary structure; on
gaining defined structure, it is a protein." Thus the same molecule can be either a peptide or a protein depending
on its environment, though there are peptides that cannot be
proteins."
