But *why* can you get away with one type of monomer for polypeptides, as opposed to nylons?

It is possible to get away with ONE monomer for a polypeptide as amino acids contain BOTH functional groups required for the amine link, where as monomers such as dicarboxylic acids ONLY contain ONE of the function groups
