Do amino acids consist of the amine group?

Answer 1

In short, no.

Amino Acids are made up of molecules. Groups of amino acids form proteins.

DNA is made up of nucleotides. (Similarly to Amino Acids, nucleotides are made up of molecules.)

Answer 2

There are no amino acids in DNA. The components of DNA include a phosphate, a sugar, and a nitrogen base. DNA is the code to synthesize polypeptides (composed of amino acids) but does not contain amino acids itself.

Answer 3

An amine group is -NH2 or -NHR or -NR2 an amino acid is a species with a an amine group and carboxylic acid in the same molecule. Glycine is an example.

In other words, all amino acids are amines, but not all amines are amino acids.

Answer 4

adenine
guanine
cytosine
thymine

Answer 5

None. DNA is composed of nucleotides, not amino acids.

The number of nucleotides in DNA depends on the species. Human DNA has over 6 billion.

Answer 6

No, they don't contain amino acids. They contain the code for amino acids in the form of a triplet code. This is translated into an amino acid during translation.

Answer 7

kind of. the amino acid sequence is more so related to RNA. But you could say so because in order to get RNA, DNA needs to be transcript.

Answer 8

They contain one, yes, along with a hydrogen, central carbon, carboxyl group, and R-group.

Answer 9

they are things that when liked together, make proteins which perform specific function throughout the body like make collagen, hemoglobin, antibodies, and enzymes.

Answer 10

No. DNA is the template by which amino acids are bonded together to make proteins. DNA itself is a nucleic acid, a different class of biological molecules.
