No. A protein is defined by its function, as much as its structure. A chain of two amino acids would have no protein-like functions. The smallest known protein is a chain of 20 amino acids, but most have many more, and sometimes consist of multiple chains of amino acids.

How many amino acids are in DNA and Proteins?
DNA contains no amino acids, it contains nucleic acids. Proteins can contain from 2 amino acids to tens of thousands.
Amino acids are found in?
Basic structure of protein. Combinations of these amino acids form peptides and eventually large protein structures. Could be anything from haemoglobin in blood to myosin in muscles.
What happens during protein synthesis?
DNA opens up at the section where the gene is located. 1/2 of the DNA is copied, this messenger RNA then moves out into the cytoplasm. A Ribosome attaches to the mRNA and reads sets of 3 bases called codons. Transfer RNA's with anti-codons that match the codons drip off the amino-acids they were carrying. The amino-acids combine to form a protein.
What are the new amino acids formed from this gene?
1. Selenocysteine, 2. Pyrrolysine
What is a polymer that contains many different molecules of amino acids?
Even though there are some variants among biochemists, we can consider this: a chain or polymer consisted of 2 to 10 or 12 amino acids is called a peptide. A polymer formed by 12 to 20 or 25 amino acid chain is called a polypeptide. And a polymer of more than 20 or 25 amino acids is called a protein.
When 2 amino acids join together what are they known as?
A protein.
Why are so many proteins able to be made from so few exons?
It might be just a guess, but there's a certain amount of amino acids that exist. Proteins are basically combinations of different amino acids. Considering there are a huge variety of different combinations the amino acids can make, it's not surprising there are more proteins than amino acids.For example:1, 2, 3, 4 form protein 12, 3, 1, 4 form protein 24, 2, 1, 3 form protein 3Just a bunch of combinations.
How many polymers do proteins have?
Proteins, also known as polypeptides, are polymers of individual amino acids (peptides). The number of amino acids in the protein chain varies widely. There are dipeptides (2 amino acids), oligopeptides (with a small number of amino acids beyond 2), and full-scale polypeptides (which typically contain many amino acids).

What is the shape of a protein is originally determined by the?
1. amount of energy available for synthesis 2.kind and sequence of amino acids in the protein 3.type and number of DNA molecules in a cell 4.mistakes made when the DNA is copied
How many amino acids in a protein?
There is a great degree of variability in the number of amino acids per protein. An answer to another question on WikiAnswers lists the shortest protein as 8 amino acids. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, the longest protein found in a sequenced genome is a "parallel beta-helix repeat-containing protein" in the organism Chlorobium chlorochromatii, this protein is 36,805 amino acids long.A protein may consist of as many as 5,000 amino acid molecules.

What is the product of the dehydration synthesis of 2 amino acid molecules is a molecule that consists of two amino acids bonded together?
a protein
What is an amino acid composed of?
Amino acids are composed of three parts: 1) an amino group (NH2) 2) a linking carbon atom with side chain (C-R) 3) a carboxyl group (COOH)
What is a polymer that contains many different molecules of amino acids?
Even though there are some variants among biochemists, we can consider this: a chain or polymer consisted of 2 to 10 or 12 amino acids is called a peptide. A polymer formed by 12 to 20 or 25 amino acid chain is called a polypeptide. And a polymer of more than 20 or 25 amino acids is called a protein.
