What is a compound with the amino group on one end and a carboxyl group on the other end?
amino acid
What is the function of the C-terminal end?
Carboxyl Group
What functional groups act as an acid?
two examples are carboxyl and hydroxyl examples are vinegar for carboxyl and phenol for hydroxyl there are many others
What type of organic compound always includes a carboxyl group and an amino group?
An amino acid always has an amino group and a carboxyl group. The amine group of one amino acid is capable of forming a peptide bond with the carboxyl group of another amino acid.
Which end of a molecule of FAt would attract the H end of HI?
Generally, a fatty acid consists of a straight chain of an even number of carbon atoms, with hydrogen atoms along the length of the chain and at one end of the chain and a carboxyl group (―COOH) at the other end. It is that carboxyl group that makes it an acid (carboxylic acid).
How are fatty acids alike?
They all have a hydrocarbon chain with a carboxyl group on the end.
What is a C terminal and N terminal in the protein?
Proteins are composed of amino acids, which are composed of a central Carbon atom surrounded by (bonded to) four groups; an amine, a carboxyl group, an R group (also known as a side chain), and a Hydrogen atom. When amino acids link together via peptide bonding to from polypeptides/proteins (A protein is a polypeptide), the amine group of one amino acid interacts with the carboxyl group of another. Therefore, you end up with an amine group on one end of the protein and a carboxyl group on the other. They call the end with the amine on it the "N terminus" because the chemical formula for amine is NH2 while the end with the carboxyl group on it is named the "C terminal" because the chemical formula of a carboxyl is CH2. The N terminus is the end that amino acids are added onto when mRNA is translated in protein synthesis. Therefore, we write that proteins are created N terminus to C terminus.
How does a hydroxyl group differ from a carboxyl group?
The hydroxyl group is an amino group and the carboxyl group is an amino acid that was one of my science questions and thats the best answer i could find. hope this helps
Kind of molecule made up of a chain of carbons to which hydrogyens are bonded and having a carboxyl group at one end?
A fatty acid
What is the functional group called a carboxyl?
The carboxyl group is writed -COOH.
What does a carboxyl group connect to to form a bond?
strutural formula of the carboxyl group
What functional group is in lysine?
amines and carboxyl
