How many amino acids could be found in the human body?

There are twenty common protein amino acids in your body, of which half can be formed in the cells. The remainder need to be consumed in our diet, as our body cannot make them, yet they are still vital. There are 2 other amino acids very ocassionally used in proteins (only one in humans) meaning that are 21 different protein amino acids in humans. Some biological pathways use other types of amino acids not found in proteins. There are at least six additional ones found in humans, but it would be difficult to determine an exact number.


What type of macromolecules are formed when amino acids are joined together?

Amino acids join together with peptide bonds to create long chains called polypeptides. These polypeptides are then assembled into a protein. Amino acids make proteins.

How many amino acids do living things contain?

There are twenty amino acids, of which around half are made in the body. The other 10 are called 'essential amino acids', because they cannot be formed in our cells, so we must take them in, in our diet.


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.
