To add just a little bit to this: a “chemical” built purely “from amino acids” has a very good chance of being a protein or a peptide (aka miniprotein). Especially if it is coming from a biological source, such as a snake’s venom.

Where the implucation would seem to be that proteins and peptides tend to be fragments of DNA/RNA in the biological context.
