I think you meant to spell amino acids, dear.
There are 20 common amino acids which can be linked by peptide bond formation in infinite combinations to produce a vast number of different proteins such as enzymes, hormones,haemoglobin,muscle protein (actin, myosin,troponin,tropomyosin), antibodies,channel proteins,membrane proteins etc. - all esential for living organisms.
All these different proteins have diferent 3-D shapes, which determine their properties, resulting from the number,types and sequence of amino acids which make up the protein.

How do you remember RDAs for amino acids?
You don't need to, amino acids are the building blocks of proteins so as long as you are eating a range of proteins you will be fine.
What is the size of protein?
Proteins make a vary diverse group of macromolecules; they range from dipeptides (two amino acids) to thousands of amino acids.
Why are gels stained?
To develop the position of the proteins or nucleic acids bands. The most common stains for proteins are Coomassie brilliant blue and Amido black (among others), and for nucleic acids is ethidium bromide (this compound form a complex with the DNA double helix and is fluorescent under short-range UV light).
What do movable enable the body to do?
Movable joints enable the body to make a wide range of movements.
How can there be so many different types of proteins when there are only 23 different amino acids?
Proteins are really very diverse in terms of their amino acid composition. Proteins are coded in the DNA, the sequence of DNA (A, T, G, C) determines the fate of amino acids that join together to form a protein. so the bases of the DNA can make a diverse group of proteins. normally proteins from a same family (for example antibodies or kinases) share a conserved domains or amino acids although they differ in their specificity and function.
What do movable joints enable to the body to do?
Movable joints enable the body to make a wide range of movements.
What are thin long strands of DNA that are coiled folded and twisted into short condensed strands?
Both vary considerably among organisms and types. The DNA in humans, uncoiled from chromosomes, differs from that of a different organism. Proteins can range from dipeptides (two amino acids) to thousands of amino acids long.
What are organic compounds with nitrogen?
A huge range of organic compound classes can be formed, depending on the presence of certain other elements and how they are arranged, including amines, amides, azos and derivatives including diazos, aniline, amino acids, ureas, nitrates, nitrites, tropanes and derivatives, diazines, azines, hydrazides, and many more.
What useful materials can be recovered from used dry cells?
Many useful and important materials can be recovered, or extracted from dried cells. For laboratory purposes, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids, receptors and a variety of biomarkers can be recovered for a wide range of purposes.
What is the difference between HBV and LBV protein?
HBV (High Biological Value) Proteins contain all the essential amino acids in the correct porportions. Proteins of HBV are ususally of animal origin. One exeption is soya beans which has HBV proteins. LBV (Low Biological Value) Proteins are foods that lack one or more essential amino acids. LBV proteins are found mainly in plant food. One exeption is gelatine which is obtained from an animal source. The two main meat groups (white meat and red meat) are split between HBV and LBV as white meats such as chicken fit better into the HBV range where as lamb and beef have a tendancy to lack in certain amino acids making them LBV (meats). although still HBV red meats are less good for you due to there higher probortion of saturated fats

What kind of chemicals have proteins?
It depends on what your definition of a chemical is. It is a molecule, and you can react it with other chemicals to form different products, so I would say it is a chemical. You can also synthesize proteins in labs, so that also would point to it being a chemical.
