The characteristic globular shape of a polypeptide is?
A polypeptide is an organic polymer that consists of a large number of amino acids linked together in a chain. The shape of a polypeptide determines its function.
A chain of amino acids forms what?
A chain of amino acids form a polypeptide chain. Once the polypeptide chain goes under a seris of folds, due to side chain reactions it becomes a functional protien.
A long chain of amino acids?
polypeptides - The Dude That is Friends with THE DUDE
What polymer is formed from amino acids found in the human body?
polypeptide?
What type of molecule is a protein molecule?
The type of molecule that a protein is is a polymer. To be more specific, protein is a polypeptide. Polymers are molecules that consist of repeating subunits. For example, a chain is a polymer of links, and can be considered a "poly-link". Similarly, proteins are repeating chains of peptide subunits, which are in turn made of amino acids.
Is alanine a type of polymer that forms a polypeptide?
No, alanine, which is an amino acid, is a type of monomerthat can form a polypeptide. The individual units are monomers, the long chain is a polymer.
What is composed of polysaccharide and polypeptide?
a polysaccharide is the polymer of carbohydrates and a polypeptide is the polymer of a lipid.
Is insulin a polymer?
Insulin is a protein, so yes it is a polymer of amino acids, also called a polypeptide chain
Is Keratin a nucleic acid polymer?
No. It is a polymer polypeptide, which is a protein.
What chain is sequences of amino acids that is the foundation for the basic structure of a protein?
polypeptide chain
Is amino acid is a polymer or monomer?
an amino acid is a monomer.. it joins together to form a dipeptide.. which joins together to form a polypeptide polypeptide - otherwise known as a polymer
Is amino acids a monomer or polymer?
an amino acid is a monomer.. it joins together to form a dipeptide.. which joins together to form a polypeptide polypeptide - otherwise known as a polymer
A polymer made of hundreds of amino acid monomers is called an?
A polymer formed of amino acids is a polypeptide (named from the numerous peptide bonds in the chain; one peptide bond links two amino acids). Two amino acids joined form a dipeptide, hundreds of amino acids form a polypeptide.
Is polypeptide chain a carbohydrate protein or lipid?
A polypeptide chain is a chain of amino acids, which make up proteins
The characteristic globular shape of a polypeptide is?
A polypeptide is an organic polymer that consists of a large number of amino acids linked together in a chain. The shape of a polypeptide determines its function.
A chain of 67amino acids would be called?
A polypeptide.
What is polypeptide?
The official definition of a polypeptide is a linear organic polymer consisting of a large number of amino-acid residues bonded together in a chain, forming part of (or the whole of) a protein molecule. (a string of amino acids)
