Amino acids have one carboxyl group (C-double bond-O,-OH, acidic) and one amino group (N bonded to 2 H's), one H at the top, and a radical group at the bottom (the radical group defines what type of amino acid it is, all other parts are the same in all amino acids)
Proteins are made up of amino acids, and are organized in either helices, or pleated sheets.
in turn, those helices and pleated sheets are folded in specific ways to form the overall shape and function of the protein.

∙ 11y agoThe term 'amino acid' indicates acid center plus amino group - as the following: NH2 is the amine group refers to amino word While COOH is the acidic center.

What is the smallest structure of a animal?
Dipeptide,amino acid,polypeptide,protein Amino Acid is the answer
How does the sequence of DNA affect the function of a protein?
The sequence of nucleotides in DNA molecule is equivalent and is closely related to an amino acid sequence in the protein molecule. If for any reason the sequence of DNA nucleotides changes it will be reflected in amino acid sequence in the protein. Moreover, the correct sequence of amino acid in the protein will form the correct three-dimensional structure, or tertiary structure, that will confer the biological activity to protein. If a wrong amino acid is translated from a mutated gene in the DNA could change the spatial structure of the protein and therefore modify or erase its biological function.
What is primary structure of a protein and what causes it?
Primary structure of the protein is simply its amino acid sequence. It is the sequence in which amino acids are added during protein synthesis.
Can you Describe how the amino acids changes in the protein affect the function of the protein and how this causes disease?
Can you describe how the amino acid changes in the protein affects the function of the protein?
Why does mrna mutation affect the amino acid sequence?
The codon UGU codes for the amino acid Cysteine. The codon UGG codes for the amino acid Tryptophan. Therefore the mutation will cause the amino acid Cysteine to be replaced with Tryptophan. These amino acids are quite different, and the final shape of the protein could be changed as a result. This could affect the function of the protein.
Why does the order of amino acid acids affect the structure of a protein?
The order of amino acids can affect the protein's shape.

What is the form of structure for protein?
amino acid are the building block of proteins. Polypeptide are chains that bond amino acids to form protein structure
How does a DNA molecule determined the structure of a protein?
The DNA sequence will determine the amino acid sequence known as the protein's primary structure. As the protein is folded into the secondary, tertiary and quatranary structures, the amino acid molecules will determine the shape
A mutation that alters a single amino acid within a protein can alter?
the primary, secondary, and tertiary level of a protein structure because once an amino acid is effected by a mutation in a single amino acid it ruins the entire protein on all levels
What are the subgroups of protein?
There are four distinct levels of protein structure. The main two are primary, amino acid, secondary structure, and quaternary structure.
Can you Describe how the amino acids changes in the protein affect the function of the protein and how this causes disease?
Can you describe how the amino acid changes in the protein affects the function of the protein?
Changing one amino acid with a protein could change what about the protein?
It will depend on how different the amino acid is to the one it replaced. If the structure and/or charge is quite different, a change of one amino acid can change the entire 3D structure of the protein. This will affect the proteins function.
Why is acid sequence of a protein of the ultumate importance?
The amino acid sequence determines the three-dimensional structure of a protein, which determines the function of the protein. If the amino acid sequence is incorrect, due to a genetic defect, the three-dimensional structure of the protein may be so disrupted as to not function properly, or not function at all.
