Amino acids differ according to their R groups. All amino acids have an amino group, a carboxyl group (organic acid), and a hydrogen atom attached to a central carbon atom. Also attached to the central carbon atom is an R group that varies according to the amino acid. Refer to the related links for illustrations.

What do amino acids form from?

Amino acids are formed from the process of protein synthesis, where amino acids are linked together in a specific sequence to form a protein chain. Amino acids are also obtained from dietary sources in the form of proteins, which are broken down into individual amino acids during digestion.


How many polymers do proteins have?

Proteins, also known as polypeptides, are polymers of individual amino acids (peptides). The number of amino acids in the protein chain varies widely. There are dipeptides (2 amino acids), oligopeptides (with a small number of amino acids beyond 2), and full-scale polypeptides (which typically contain many amino acids).


How do amino acids distinguish from each other?

They differ from each other by the cognent that it is connected to.


How many amino acids were changed?

To determine how many amino acids were changed, you would need to compare the amino acid sequences of the original and mutated proteins. By aligning the two sequences, you can count the positions where the amino acids differ. This count will give you the total number of changed amino acids. If you provide specific sequences or context, I can help you analyze them further.


How do amino acids digest meat?

Amino acids are not involved in digesting anything. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Proteins are biological polymers and amino acids are the monomers. Digestive enzymes digest proteins to obtain amino acids which the body can then utilize for various purposes.

What would Hydrolysis of a protein produce?

Hydrolysis of a protein would break down the protein into its constituent amino acids. This process involves adding water to the protein molecule, causing the peptide bonds between amino acids to be cleaved, resulting in the release of individual amino acids.


What is the difference between amino acids and proteins?

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Proteins are made up of one or more chains of amino acids linked together. In other words, amino acids are the individual units that make up proteins.


How do essential amino acids differ from non-essential amino acids?

"Essential" amino acids are those that are essential in the diet. The body can make the others from simpler compounds. Which amino acids are "essential" depends on the species; they're not the same for humans that they are for, say, cats. Other than that, there's no difference.
