The polymer which folds into proteins
A
Polypeptide
B
Amino Acids
C
Nucleic Acids
D
Polynucleotides
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Polypeptide, which is formed by polymerization of amino acids, is a single-stranded chain. The order of amino acid sequence of extant proteins is determined by genetic information written as base sequence of DNA.

Detailed explanation-2: -Groups of Monomers and Polymers Proteins-polymers are known as polypeptides; monomers are amino acids. Nucleic Acids-polymers are DNA and RNA; monomers are nucleotides, which are in turn consist of a nitrogenous base, pentose sugar, and phosphate group.

Detailed explanation-3: -proteolytic enzyme, also called protease, proteinase, or peptidase, any of a group of enzymes that break the long chainlike molecules of proteins into shorter fragments (peptides) and eventually into their components, amino acids.

Detailed explanation-4: -When connected together by a series of peptide bonds, amino acids form a polypeptide, another word for protein. The polypeptide will then fold into a specific conformation depending on the interactions (dashed lines) between its amino acid side chains.
