Which groups make up amino acid?
Carboxylic group + Amino group
What is the function of an amino acid?
They make up proteins.
What groups make up amino acids?
The amino acids are distinguished by the R groups which determines what amino acid it is.:) im doing this homework right now .
How might one missing nucleotide or the insertion of one additional nucleotide in a DNA strand alter the formation of the translated protein?
Deletion of just one nucleotide in a protein-coding part of a gene will cause a "frameshift mutation." Since the nucleotides are read in groups of three (codons) along the gene, the groupings will change and the protein that results is likely to be completely different.
What is the function of tRNA.?
tRNA mediates recognition of the codon and provides the corresponding amino acid. It mainly is recognized for carrying amino acids. It then gives to it mRNA to translate the nucleotides proteins.
Why is the R group in amino acids?
The R group in an amino acid are what make that amino acid unique.
Why is the R group in amino acids important?
The R group in an amino acid are what make that amino acid unique.
How can one amino acid have a great effect?
If you mean how does changing one amino acid have a great effect, that single change may alter the shape of the protein in a critical area, which can make the protein function poorly or not at all.
What smaller units make up proteins?
amino acids
What is the function of the R group?
Thiols.
What is the base unit of a protein?
Amino acids make up proteins.
What is Calcium Amino Acid Chelate?
Calcium Carbonate/Oxide + Amino Acid = Calcium Amino Acid Chelate The reaction should be carried at 80 degree C. Make the amino acid content always double to metal content to get better chelation.
