Proteins and nucleic acids are both essential macromolecules that play crucial roles in biological systems. They are composed of smaller building blocks; proteins are made of amino acids, while nucleic acids (like DNA and RNA) are made of nucleotides. Both types of molecules are involved in the storage, transmission, and expression of genetic information, with proteins often performing functions dictated by the sequences found in nucleic acids. Additionally, both proteins and nucleic acids can form complex three-dimensional structures that are vital for their specific functions in the cell.

What do similarities between amino acid sequences indicate?
Similar amino acid sequences can indicate similar protein structure and function. Hydrophobic residues will orient the same way in solution as will polar residues. Charged amino acids are commonly found within or near the active sites enzymes. Similar amino acid sequence can also indicate a similar evolutionary origin known as convergent evolution. This is the same for unique proteins that evolved from a common ancestral protein which is known as divergent evolution.
What is nucleate boiling?
The type of boilimg in which small bubbles formed at surface or within the liquid is calles nucleate boiling.by Kamran Hussain Ktk
What is a submit of a protein?
An amino acid.
What can result if only one amino acid is coded incorrectly?
If the substituted amino acid is similar enough to the correct amino acid, maybe nothing will happen. But if it is very different and changes the three-dimensional structure of the protein significantly, then it could have severe consequences, including death.
Biologist can compare amino-acid sequence of the same protein from two or more species sequences can be very similar or very different what do the similarities and differences tell us?
Similarities in amino acid sequences tell us the the genes coding for these proteins are similar. Similar genes are due to shared ancestry ie the organisms have evolved from a common ancestor in the past. Differences in amino acid sequence tell us that mutations have occurred in the genes since the organisms separated from the common ancestor. The bigger the differences, the longer the organisms have been separated.
Is amino acid and protein similar?
proteins are made up of different amino acids linked together
Is amylase a carbohydrate lipid protein or nucleic acid?
Insulin is a protein.

Why can missenes mutations not have an effect on protein function?
Say the part of the gene that is mutated does not change the amino acid sequence of the protein made through the mRNA; hydrophobic amino acid stays hydrophobic. We have many of these small nucleotide polymorphisms in our genomes and they are useful trackers of human migrations, for instance.
Is lactic acid protein?
No
How uric acid decrease?
If you need to decrease the uric acid in your blood, that is done by eating less protein. Uric acid is a byproduct of protein digestion.
Is phosphoric acid a carbohydrate lipid protein nucleic acid?
It is a nucleic acid.
An acid can denature a protein by?
Amino acid denatured or degraded the components of protein to start life processes.
How do you nucleate an oyster?
You eat clams
What acid is formed in the digestion of protein?
Amino Acid! ;D
What is the name of the acid which is the building block of protein?
The, or an, amino acid.
Do mutations always alter the encoded protein structure and function?
No. Since a mutation in the DNA may not necessarily result in a change to the encoded amino acid in the protein sequence, it is entirely possible. Further, the protein function will likely not change when an amino acid is replaced with one of similar chemical properties. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. This is the field that molecular evolutionary biologists study.
