No, DNA is not an amino acid. DNA is a nucleic acid composed of two chains of nucleotides. The sequence of nucleotides encodes for amino acids (almost every triplet of nucleotides encodes for some amino acid). The amino acids in turn build proteins.

Which tells you more about a protein its amino acid sequences or composition?

i'd go with the amino acid sequences... they are, after all, the second genetic code, meaning they are the blueprint for the function of the amino acid.

What monomer makes up protein?

Amino acid monomers make up a polypeptide chain which folds into it's particular shape, based on amino acid sequences, to make a protein


How does DNA sequence determine protein function?

DNA sequences do not determine the function of any protein. DNA sequences determine the structure of the protein. That is particular amino acid sequence in protein only.

How to determine protein size in kDa from amino acids?

3 sequences = 1 amino acid = 110 Da ex) DNA 1kb = DNA 1,000 bp = 333 amino acid = 36,630 Da = 37 kDa


Define primary structure and describe how it may be deduced in the laboratory?

The primary structure is the formation of the amino acid sequence within a protein. It can be deduced in a laboratory by hydrolyzing the protein into small peptide chains, dehydrolyzing the protein into small peptide chains, determining their amino acid sequences, and then overlapping the sequences of small fragments created with different agents to reconstruct the whole polypeptide.


What is the cell organelle on which protein molecules are manufactured?

Proteins do not directly produced.First amino acid sequences produced in ribosomes.So ribosomes are considered as factories of protein production
