The amino acids vary in the side groups, usually designated by "R" on the chemical structures for amino acids.
The invariant parts are the amino group (NH2-), central (-CH-) group, and the carboxyl (-COOH) group.
Connected to the central carbon on the (-CH-) group is a side group which is part that varies.

How many dispensable amino acids are there?
20 common amino acids
Oligopeptides are a string of how many amino acids?
it consists of 10- 20 amino acids ....more than this is called polypeptides.....
What are the proteins of a monomer?
The monomer of proteins are called amino acids.
How can only 20 amino acids combine to form thousands of proteins?
because a whole sequence of amino acids is necessary to create one protein, with the sequence being tens or hundreds of amino acids long. This means that there is a massive amount of possible proteins.
How many peptide bond can form for 20 amino acid?
You can form 19 peptide bonds from 20 amino acids. However, in terms of how many different ways that you can chain together 20 amino acids, the number is 20^20.
The 20 amino acids vary only in their?
lipid groups
How many acids are their?
amino acids?? 20 amino acids
How many amino acids do living things contain?
There are twenty amino acids, of which around half are made in the body. The other 10 are called 'essential amino acids', because they cannot be formed in our cells, so we must take them in, in our diet.
Amino acids can be distinguished from one another by?
Amino acids all have an amino group attached to them. There are 20 different amino groups, and therefore 20 different types of amino acids.
How many dispensable amino acids are there?
20 common amino acids
What are the component of amino acid?
The 20 amino acids vary in structure by the R-group, otherwise all amino acids are the same in structure. All amino acids have a carboxyl group, an amino group, an R-group, and a hydrogen which are all bonded to a central carbon. It is the R-groups that make the amino acids react in different ways and alter the structure of the protein.
How many types of amino acids are available to construct all the proteins in a human body?
There are 20 standard amino acids. A few proteins have other amino acids but these are usually derived from the 20 standard amino acids.
Oligopeptides are a string of how many amino acids?
it consists of 10- 20 amino acids ....more than this is called polypeptides.....
What are the proteins of a monomer?
The monomer of proteins are called amino acids.
How many amino acids can a sequence of 24 DNA bases bases code for?
20
What is the minimum number of amino acids in protein?
there is only 20 amin acid in our bodies but we only use 11 of them
Why does fetus need amino acid?
Amino acids are building blocks for the body's construction. There are 20 amino acids, but only 8 are called Essential Amino Acids.
