Which was the first artificially synthesized polypeptide?

Which was the first artificially synthesized polypeptide? Correct Answer polyphenylalanine

The first artificially synthesized protein is polyphenylalanine, synthesized using the poly(U) genetic sequence. After the successful synthesis of polyphenylalanine, it was confirmed that the codon UUU specifies phenylalanine.
