👉 In the context of biology, a peptogenic is a protein that has a hydrophilic (water-loving) side and a hydrophobic (water-repelling) side. These properties are crucial for their ability to interact with specific proteins in cells, as they can bind to specific receptors or act as ligands. For example, the peptidoglycan of bacteria is a peptogenic protein that plays a role in cell wall synthesis and attachment. It is composed of two
