An amino group and an R group
Yes, amino acids contain:
1) an amino group (-NH2)
2) a central carbon and variable side group
3) a carboxyl group (-COOH)
Yes, amino acids contain carboxyl acid. Yes, amino acids contain carboxyl acid.
Amino acids fit this description - amazingly out of the vast number of possible amino acids only twenty are deemed to be biologically fit.
an amino group!
hope I helped!
a codon i think
Yes
amino acid
-NH2
Yes
carboxyl group
it would function as both an acid and a base.
Amino acids have both amine and carboxylic acid functional groups and are therefore both an acid and a base at the same time.
No. Well, yes. It depends on what you mean by "amino acid." Collagen is a protein and is therefore made up of amino acids rather than being an "amino acid" (as the term is generally used) itself. In a strict chemical sense, though, it is in fact an amino acid, as it contains both a carboxylic acid functional group and an amine functional group (at the C-terminal and N-terminal ends of the protein respectively).
ALL amino acids are made up of a carbon center, with a -COOH group, -NH2 group, and a -H attached to it. The only difference between amino acids is the fourth bond to the carbon center, which is the R-Group. The R-group can varies between the 20 different types of amino acids.
amino acid
Molecules are able to have multiple functional groups. For example, an amino acid contains both the amino group -NH2 and carboxyl group -COOH.
carboxyl group
a simple organic compound containing both a carboxyl (-COOH) and an amino (-NH2) group.
a simple organic compound containing both a carboxyl (-COOH) and an amino (-NH2) group.
Both carbohydrates and lipids contain a carboxyl group. They differ in that carbohydrates are formed between a carboxyl and an aldehyde group whereas a lipid is formed between a carboxyl and a hydroxyl group. Amino acids also contain a carboxyl group, though it forms a peptide bond with an amino group.
it would function as both an acid and a base.
A carboxyl group (-COOH) functions as an organic acid (deprotonate to -COO-). An amino group (-NH2) may function as an organic base (protonated to -NH3+). Therefore an organic compound that has a carboxyl group is likely to have an acidic pH and an organic compound with an amino group is likely to have a basic pH (precise degree of acidity and basicity depends on the number of carbons in th backbone, the number of carboxyl or amino groups, and the presence of other functional groups).Some molecules that have both carboxyl groups and amino groups (amino acids, for example) can function as either an acid or a base under different circumstances, making them useful in buffering the pH of solutions.
An alkylamino is a group or radical which contains both an alkyl and an amino group.
The definition of an amino acid is a simple organic compound that contains both an amino group and a carboxylic acid group. These are both attached to the same carbon atom.
COOH (carboxyl) groups are found on compounds called carboxylic acids, which are organic compounds that contain a carboxyl group. NH2 (amino) groups are found on compounds called amines, which are organic compounds that contain an amino group. Both carboxylic acids and amines are commonly found in various biological molecules and have important functions.
Proteins are polymer of amino acids. They contain both amino (-NH2) and carboxylic group (-COOH) as their main functional groups.With this the side chains specific for amino acids will attach and form poly peptides during protein synthesis.
