Is DNA a type of enzyme that puts together amino acid to make a protein?

DNA is not an enzyme. DNA does not make proteins. tRNA translates DNA into RNA. mRNA moves the RNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm (only in eukaryotes, prokaryotes do not have a nucleus). mRNA is then translated by tRNA. tRNA puts the nucleotides together to form a peptide chain that refolds and becomes a protein.

Is Enzyme a monomer or polymer?
Enzymes are a type of protein, which are amino acid polymers.
What is an organic non-protein component that aids in enzyme functioning?
All enzymes are protein molecules
What are large molecules made up of small molecules called?
AnswerIt can be a peptide, if it is of medium size, and the biggest is a protein molecule. A large molecule made up of amino acids may also be an enzyme.
How does DNA control the order amino acids are put together to form a protein?
The triplet decides where one amino acid is to be put into the Protein. In other works, it ' it codes ' for an amino acid.
What nutrient is chemically broken down in the stomach?
Protein into amino acids by enzymes and hydrochloric acid!
Is Enzyme a monomer or polymer?
Enzymes are a type of protein, which are amino acid polymers.
What monomer makes up enzyme?
amino acids make proteins and an enzyme is a protein so......
What is an organic non-protein component that aids in enzyme functioning?
All enzymes are protein molecules
What controls the production of enzymes?
An enzyme is a protein. First of all, RNA which is a copy of DNA is formed to be translated by ribosomes. Each 3 letters form a specific amino acid. These amino acids are combined together by RNA to form a protein.
How might an amino acid change at a site distant from the active site of the enzyme alter the enzyme's substrate specificity?
The alteration of an amino acid on a site other than the active site will: change the shape of the protein.

What is the correct order smallest to largest protein - amino acid - polypeptide?
Amino acids---->peptide---->polypeptide--->protein.
Is melanin a protein?
I screwed up-- the first person had it right. Here's their answer: "A protein is composed of several amino acids chained together - so no melanin is not a protein. Melanin is formed from the amino acid Tyrosine and is NOT a chain of amino acids thus it is not a protein nor is it a amino acid."
What type of mutation in the DNA leads to a single change in the amino acid sequence of the protein?
Yes, it already has by changing the amino acid you have a mutation. That one amino acid counld be in the active site of an enzyme and that one amino acid being changed could result in loss of function or reduction in function of the enzyme. Sickle cell animea is caused by a single such amino acid substiution.
Is amino acid and protein similar?
proteins are made up of different amino acids linked together
