The first difference is that proteins are made of only 20 different amino acids, while peptides can be made of this 20 "protein" amino acids and of other naturally available amino acids. Another basic difference is the size of the chain, that is, the number of amino acids that a protein or a peptide contains.

Hope this helpsss:))))
