Which are the amino acids that make up protein?
This question doesn't make much sense. There are more than three amino acids found in proteins. There are about 20. Some amino acids are more common than others, for example glutamine is one of the most common found in humans.
Do proteins soluble in organic solvents other than water what are they?
proteins are polymer of amino acids. so if we want to know the characteristic of protein we must know the characteristic of amino acids. amino acids have two ends, head and tail. the head of the amino acids contains contain carboxyl group and amine group. the interaction between these two groups causes the amino acids to have zwitter ionic effect that leads to the polarity of amino acids (amino acids have charges). however, the tail of the amino acids contains a long chain of carbon that leads to the hydrophobicity of amino acids. the longer the tail the more non-polar it is. thus, the amino acid solubles in organic solvent. organic solvent are hexane, fats, alcohols, etc. but mostly, the proteins are polar. they dissolve in inorganic substances, i.e. water, caustic soda, and other inorganic liquids.
Oligopeptides are a string of how many amino acids?
it consists of 10- 20 amino acids ....more than this is called polypeptides.....
What molecules makes up the structure proteins?
Proteins are biochemical compounds consisting of one or more polypeptides typically folded into a globular or fibrous form, facilitating a biological function. A polypeptide is a single linear polymer chain of amino acids bonded together by peptide bonds between the carboxyl and amino groups of adjacent amino acid residues.
How many strings of amino acids dose a polypeptide consist of?
a polypeptide is ten or more amino acids bonded together
What are polymers of amino acid?
The more common term for a polymer of amino acids (generally, strictly speaking, a copolymer of several different amino acids) is a protein.
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 are the polymers in protein?
Proteins are polymers of amino acids. The monomer of proteins is amino acids. Chains of amino acids are polypeptides and are called proteins if there are more than 20 amino acids in the chain.
Polymer of a protien?
Normally you can just refer to the polymers just as proteins, but if you want to be specific, you can say polypeptide, thereby excluding amino acids, dipeptides, and oligopeptides. The monomers of proteins are amino acids.

What is polypeptide?
The official definition of a polypeptide is a linear organic polymer consisting of a large number of amino-acid residues bonded together in a chain, forming part of (or the whole of) a protein molecule. (a string of amino acids)
Which foods have a lot of amino acids?
Amino acids are that in which are amino and good for you can find information on this at www.webmdhealth.com/aminoacidsandyourbody.html for more information.
What is a chain of more than 50 amino acids?
A chain of more than 50 amino acids is called a protein. Chains of amino acids in general can be called polypeptides - which refers to the type of bond between the amino acids (a peptide bond).
Oligopeptides are a string of how many amino acids?
it consists of 10- 20 amino acids ....more than this is called polypeptides.....
How are amino acids are put together by peptide bonds to form polypeptides?
three or more amino acids are needed.
