What is a polymer that contains many different molecules of amino acids?
Even though there are some variants among biochemists, we can consider this: a chain or polymer consisted of 2 to 10 or 12 amino acids is called a peptide. A polymer formed by 12 to 20 or 25 amino acid chain is called a polypeptide. And a polymer of more than 20 or 25 amino acids is called a protein.
How much amino acids do you need?
Histidine: 10mg/kg/d Isoleucine: 20mg/kg/d Leucine: 29mg/kg/d lysine: 30mg/kg/d Methionine + Cysteine 15 (total)mg/kg/d phenylalanine + Tyrosine 25 (total)mg/kg/d Threonine: 15mg/kg/d Tryptophan: 4mg/kg/d Valine: 26mg/kg/d The rest are not important because your body can make them, if you eat everyday (healthy) you will meet your requirements, very few people in the world do not meet the AA needs.
What amino acid is represented by ACA?
The genetic code consists of 64 triplets of nucleotides. These triplets are called codons.With three exceptions, each codon encodes for one of the 20 amino acids used in the synthesis of proteins. That produces some redundancy in the code: most of the amino acids being encoded by more than one codon. One codon, AUG serves two related functions: * it signals the start of translation * it codes for the incorporation of the amino acid methionine (Met) into the growing polypeptide chain The genetic code can be expressed as either RNA codons or DNA codons. RNA codons occur in messenger RNA (mRNA) and are the codons that are actually "read" during the synthesis of polypeptides (the process called translation). But each mRNA molecule acquires its sequence of nucleotides by transcription from the corresponding gene. Because DNA sequencing has become so rapid and because most genes are now being discovered at the level of DNA before they are discovered as mRNA or as a protein product, it is extremely useful to have a table of codons expressed as DNA. So here are both. Note that for each table, the left-hand column gives the first nucleotide of the codon, the 4 middle columns give the second nucleotide, and the last column gives the third nucleotide. {| |+ Second nucleotide |- ! !

Except that the nucleotide thymidine (T) is found in place of uridine (U), they read the same as RNA codons. However, mRNA is actually synthesized using the antisense strand of DNA (3' to 5') as the template. [Discussion] This table could well be called the Rosetta Stone of life.

All but two of the amino acids (Met and Trp) can be encoded by from 2 to 6 different codons. However, the genome of most organisms reveals that certain codons are preferred over others. In humans, for example, alanine is encoded by GCC four times as often as by GCG. Why should this be? The answer is uncertain but probably reflects a greater translation efficiency by the translation apparatus (e.g., ribosomes) for certain codons over their synonyms. Codon bias even extends to pairs of codons: wherever a human protein contains the amino acids Ala-Glu, the gene encoding those amino acids is seven times as likely to use the codons GCAGAG rather than the synonymous GCCGAA. Codon bias is exploited by the biotechnology industry to improve the yield of the desired product. The ability to manipulate codon bias may also usher in a era of safer vaccines. Link to a discussion. The genetic code is almost universal. The same codons are assigned to the same amino acids and to the same START and STOP signals in the vast majority of genes in animals, plants, and microorganisms. However, some exceptions have been found. Most of these involve assigning one or two of the three STOP codons to an amino acid instead. When mitochondrial mRNA from animals or microorganisms (but not from plants) is placed in a test tube with the cytosolic protein-synthesizing machinery (amino acids, enzymes, tRNAs, ribosomes) it fails to be translated into a protein. The reason: these mitochondria use UGA to encode tryptophan (Trp) rather than as a chain terminator. When translated by cytosolic machinery, synthesis stops where Trp should have been inserted. In addition, most * animal mitochondria use AUA for methionine not isoleucine and * all vertebrate mitochondria use AGA and AGG as chain terminators. * Yeast mitochondria assign all codons beginning with CU to threonine instead of leucine (which is still encoded by UUA and UUG as it is in cytosolic mRNA). Plant mitochondria use the universal code, and this has permitted angiosperms to transfer mitochondrial genes to their nucleus with great ease. Link to discussion of mitochondrial genes. Violations of the universal code are far rarer for nuclear genes. A few unicellular eukaryotes have been found that use one or two (of their three) STOP codons for amino acids instead. The vast majority of proteins are assembled from the 20 amino acids listed above even though some of these may be chemically altered, e.g. by phosphorylation, at a later time. However, two cases have been found where an amino acid that is not one of the standard 20 is inserted by a tRNA into the growing polypeptide. * selenocysteine. This amino acid is encoded by UGA. UGA is still used as a chain terminator, but the translation machinery is able to discriminate when a UGA codon should be used for selenocysteine rather than STOP. This codon usage has been found in certain Archaea, eubacteria, and animals (humans synthesize 25 different proteins containing selenium). * pyrrolysine. In several species of Archaea and bacteria, this amino acid is encoded by UAG. How the translation machinery knows when it encounters UAG whether to insert a tRNA with pyrrolysine or to stop translation is not yet known. Welcome&Next Search ---- 28 February 2009 |}
How does photosynthesis and respiration in green plants meet the needs of the cell?
Respiration is an essential life process in plants. It is necessary for the synthesis of essential metabolites including carbohydrates, amino acids and fatty acids, as well as for the transport of minerals and other solutes between cells. It consumes between 25 and 75% of all the carbohydrates produced in photosynthesis at ordinary growth rates.

What is a polymer that contains many different molecules of amino acids?
Even though there are some variants among biochemists, we can consider this: a chain or polymer consisted of 2 to 10 or 12 amino acids is called a peptide. A polymer formed by 12 to 20 or 25 amino acid chain is called a polypeptide. And a polymer of more than 20 or 25 amino acids is called a protein.
What is an example of simple protein?
SSome scientists call protein a small peptides, that is, molecules with less than 25 amino acids. However, a typical small and very important protein is the insulin. This protein is crucial for the metabolism to regulate glucose in blood stream. Insulin is formed by two amino acid chains called A chain (21 residues) and B chain (30 residues), with small variants within mammal species.
What is the shortest protein?
I am not completely positive, but from what I can find it is said that the shortest protein peptide sequence consists just 8 amino acids. It is recognized by the anti-peptide antisera.The shortest protein in rice is 5 amino acids. The locus id is LOC_Os06g47230.
What is the difference between polypeptide and protein?
First, it is important to know that all proteins are technically polypeptides, although in general scientists consider polypeptides molecules consisting of one strand of amino acids chemically bound to one another that have no special or unique properties. It would be very difficult or impossible to find a degreed and professional scientist who considers all polypeptides proteins. One difference between what is called a "polypeptide" and a "protein" is based on the number of amino acids each one contains. A chain of amino acids that contains relatively few amino acids compared to known proteins is a "polypeptide." The second most important distinction between how the two words are used is that scientists normally reserve the word "protein" for molecules consisting entirely or nearly entirely of amino acids that exhibit specialized physical or chemical properties, or both. For example, hemoglobin is considered a "protein" because it is specialized to carry the oxygen in our red blood cells. Keratin is another protein that serves as a structural material in our skin and is the material of which hair is made. On the other hand aspartame, the artificial sweetener, is a polypeptide since it only consists of three amino acids chemically bound to one another, thus it is too small to be called a protein. I can see how one might argue that it is a protein because it has a powerful sweet taste, however there are several other chemical compounds that are not sugars that also have a powerful sweet taste. (What would otherwise be the carboxylic acid end of aspartame has been changed to its methyl ester.)
