the subunits that proteins are made from are called amino acids , there are about 20 common amino acids that are used in the synthesis of proteins in humans , and proteins differ in the number , types , and sequence of amino acids .

What is the subunit of haemoglobin?

The subunit of hemoglobin is a protein molecule made up of four polypeptide chains. These chains consist of two alpha chains and two beta chains, each with a heme group that contains iron, which binds to oxygen.


What is composed of a large and a small subunit?

Ribosomes are composed of a large and a small subunit. These subunits are made up of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins, and they come together during protein synthesis to translate messenger RNA (mRNA) into proteins. The large subunit typically catalyzes peptide bond formation, while the small subunit is responsible for reading the mRNA sequence.

Are eukaryotic ribsomes composed of 60S and 40S subunits?

Yes, eukaryotic ribosomes are composed of a large 60S subunit and a small 40S subunit that come together to form the functional 80S ribosome. These subunits are made up of both RNA and protein components, with the 60S subunit containing 3 types of rRNA molecules and over 49 proteins, while the 40S subunit contains 1 type of rRNA and around 33 proteins.

Which one have the larger ribosomes prokaryotes or eukaryote?

Eukaryotes have larger ribosomes compared to prokaryotes. Prokaryotic ribosomes are smaller and composed of a 30S and 50S subunit, while eukaryotic ribosomes are larger and made of a 40S and 60S subunit.


Why does streptomycin kill the bacteria and not us?

Streptomycin binds to bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit and inhibits protein production by the bacteria. Human beings are are not affected because our ribosomes have a 40S subunit and a 60S subunit, no 30S subunit.
