Best Answer

All tRNAs have an amino acid (or acceptor) stem - which is the 3' end and is composed of CCA.

The amino acid stem is where the link between the tRNA and the amino acid occurs.

When 2 amino acids link together what bond is formed?

carboxyl group of one molecule of amino acid and amino group of the other molecule of amino acid by releasing a molecule of water.


What happens when you change the R group of an amino acid?

It will become a different amino acid. For example, the r group for the amino acid leucine is greatly different than that of glycine. The r group is the identifying portion of an amino acid, otherwise only the amine group and the carboxyl groups exist. At the link is a picture of the various amino acids. You can see the carboxyl groups [COOH] and the amine groups [NH3] are always there, but the rest of the molecule changes.


What is the meaning of amino acid?

An Amino acid is an organic molecule with an amino functional group at one end of the molecule and a carboxylic acid function group at the other end. Here is the structure of one such molecule. H2N - CH2 - C(=O)-OH Two of these molecules react together. The acid functional group react with the basic (amino) functional group to form a peptide link and extend the molecular chain . e.g. H2N - CH2 - **C(=O)- N(-H)-**CH2 - COOH The bit hi-lighted is the peptide link.


Do amino acids link up to form proteins?

Yes they do.. Protein are polymers of amino acid.


What amino acid would be made form the mRNA code for a a a?

AGT codes for the amino acid serine and CTT codes for the amino acid leucine.


Amino acids are monomers used to build what?

A monomer is a small molecule that can easily bind to others. Amino acids are monomers, because they bond together to form proteins, which are polymers. Another example of a monomer is glucose, but it can bind to form polymers like cellulose.


Type of Bonding occurs in the primary structure of protein?

The covalent bonds between amino acids are called peptide bonds. It is a bond between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another amino acid. Amino acids are bonded through condensation reactions, which produces a water molecule.


Is DNA an amino acid that encodes protein sequences?

No, DNA is not an amino acid. DNA is a nucleic acid composed of two chains of nucleotides. The sequence of nucleotides encodes for amino acids (almost every triplet of nucleotides encodes for some amino acid). The amino acids in turn build proteins. Please see the related link for more information.


What is the largest molecule in an organism?

RNA is a nucleic acid that forms a copy of DNA for use in making proteins. RNA can also act as an enzyme, promoting the chemical reactions that link amino acids to form proteins. Adenosine triphosphate is an extremely important molecule formed by a nucleotide.


Interpret the genetic code to determine the amino acid coded for by the condon ccu?

The link below includes a table of codons and their respective amino acids. You can use this to determine the amino acid coded by any three nucleic acid bases. Read down, then across, then find the one you want from that block of four. In the case of CCU, the amino acid is proline.


Which amino acid does the condon ACU code for?

threonine Refer to the related link to see a chart of mRNA codons and their corresponding amino acids.


Which macromolecules has amino acids as monomers?

Proteins (simply) (also called polypeptides) this is because amino acids will for many peptide bonds, a peptide bond is a condensation reaction (water is released) where the carboxylic acid group (-COOH) of one amino acid reacts with the amine group (-NH2) of another. the link between amino acid monomers is called an amide link (-COHN-) HOPE THIS HELPED ^_^
