Proteins are made up of monomers called?

Proteins are made up of monomers called amino acids.


What is the linear sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain is called?

The linear sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain is called the primary structure. It is determined by the specific order of amino acids in the chain, which is encoded by the sequence of nucleotides in the gene that codes for the protein.


Proteins are formed of building blocks called?

Amino acids held together by peptide bonds.


Proteins are made from small units called?

Proteins are made up of smaller units called amino acids which are strung together to form proteins which can be of different sizes and shapes.


What specific amino acid that codes for part of a protein?

That MAY have happened 3.5 billion years ago ... but not today. DNA carries the codes for amino acid sequences. RNA transfers the codes. Ribosomes link the amino acids into proteins. Amino acids don't code for proteins, genes do. The base sequence in the genes codes for how the amino acids should be sequenced to make proteins.


Why are amino acids called amino acids?

Amino acids are called amino acids because they contain an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxyl group (-COOH) in their chemical structure. These two functional groups are essential for the formation of proteins and are characteristic of all amino acids.


Proteins are digested to their building blocks which are called?

peptides which are constructed from amino-acids


Why is the sequence of amino acids significant in building proteins?

dna gives codes for 1 of20 amino acids. amino acids form chains and a complete chain is a protein.


What long chain of amino acids called?

Long chains of amino acids are called polypeptides.


What amino acids are coded by UGU?

Cysteine ^_^


How many amino acids does the strand of DNA code for?

A strand of DNA codes for amino acids through the sequence of nucleotides. Each group of three nucleotides, called a codon, corresponds to one amino acid. There are 20 standard amino acids that can be encoded by DNA.


What are the one-letter codes for amino acids that contain the keyword "protein"?

The one-letter codes for amino acids that contain the keyword "protein" are P (Proline) and K (Lysine).
