What else can I help you with?
If there are three amino acids how many bases would there be on the M RNA to make these three?
Each amino acid is encoded by a set of three nucleotide bases in mRNA, known as a codon. Therefore, to encode three amino acids, there would need to be a total of nine nucleotide bases in the mRNA (3 amino acids x 3 bases per amino acid = 9 bases).
A certain protein is made up of 100 amino acids What is the smallest number of bases in the messenger RNA molecule that is needed to carry the code for the synthesis of this protein?
The smallest number of bases needed would be 300 bases, as each amino acid is coded for by a sequence of three bases (codon) in mRNA. Therefore, 100 amino acids x 3 bases per codon = 300 bases in the mRNA molecule to code for the protein.
How many bases would DNA molecule have to molecule to code an enzymes of 150 amino acids?
To code for a protein of 150 amino acids, the DNA molecule would need approximately 450 base pairs. This is because each amino acid is encoded by a sequence of three nucleotides called a codon. So, 150 amino acids would require 150 codons, which translates to 450 base pairs.
How many amino acid sequences can be made from four amino acids?
There are 20 common amino acids (pre-modification). In a set of any four, each one could be one of 20, meaning there are 204 possible combinations: 160,000. If the question was meant to be "how many amino acids can be made from 4 triplet codons then the answer would still be exactly the same. Even though there are 4 bases, meaning there are 64 different codes possible, there are still only 20 amino acids available. If the question was meant to be "how many amino acids can be made from 4 bases" you can only make one (which could be any of 20 different residues), as you need three bases to code one amino acid. See the related question below for a listing of the types of amino acids.
How many amino acids does a codon contain?
A codon contains three amino acids. Each codon in mRNA corresponds to a specific amino acid in a protein sequence.
What are the two main amino groups and how many of each is there?
The two main amino groups are the amino group (-NH2) and the carboxyl group (-COOH). In the context of amino acids, each amino acid contains one amino group and one carboxyl group, making a total of one amino group per amino acid. Therefore, for a standard amino acid, there is one amino group and one carboxyl group present.
Is creatine a compound from amino acids?
No, not really. It is an acid, and it does contain an amino group, but it is not generally considered an amino acid per se. The amino acids we generally speak of are alpha amino acids, and creatine is NOT one of those. When you ask if it is "from amino acids", then the answer would be YES. It is made in the body from several amino acids, such as methionine, glycine and arginine.
How much sulfuric acid is produced per year worldwide?
Around 270 million metric tons of sulfuric acid are produced per year worldwide.
How can only 4 bases in rna carry instructions for 20 different amino acid?
The genetic code is degenerate, meaning that multiple codons can code for the same amino acid. With only 4 bases in RNA (A, U, G, C) and a triplet code (3 bases per codon), there are 64 possible combinations (4^3). However, since there are only 20 amino acids, some amino acids are encoded by multiple codons.
How many molecules of water are formed when four amino acids join?
Three water molecules are formed when four amino acids join together through a process called condensation or dehydration synthesis. Each amino acid has a carboxyl group (-COOH) and an amino group (-NH2), and when they combine, a water molecule is removed for each bond formed between the amino group of one amino acid and the carboxyl group of another.
What are those amino acids that are not essentials?
These are known as non-essential amino acids because they can be produced by the organism. As for which amino acids are essential and non-essential varies per organism. Many bacteria can synthesize all amino acids and therefore all are non-essential.
What is the approximate molecular weight of a protein with 682 amino acid residues in a single polypeptide chain?
Haha wait are you in Amherst College biochemistry? What are the odds that 682 showed up on another college's problem set? Use 110 g/mol per amino acid (already corrected for the loss of water in amino acid condensation during formation of the protein) and multiply.
