Methionine or Met for short.
Amino acids are the basic building blocks of proteins.
it comes from the food that you eat every day. Food's protein is large so it has to use enzyme to break down from polymer chain into monomer to fit to the "gate" to go inside the cytoplasm of the cell.
A protein's structure is determined by:- the amino acid sequences of its polypeptide chains;- hydrogen bonds between amino acids in polypeptides;- other bonds (e.g. hydrophobic interactions, disulphide bridges) between side chains in the polypeptides; and- the arrangement of polypeptides (in a protein that contains more than one polypeptide)Scientists have mapped the structures of several proteins; however, scientists are still unsure as to how proteins actually form their final structures.The function of a protein is directly related to its structure. For example, a protein that fights a certain bacteria might have a shape that allows it to bind to the bacteria and then destroy it.
There are 20 naturally occurring amino acids that are used in the synthesis of proteins.
The purest form of protein is HYDROLYSIS PROTEIN. it contains all nine essential amino acids. which are the muscle building blocks. it shows unbelievable results in bodybuildingwith natural ingredients of whey. it is the best form of protein than soy protein, isolate protein & show solid improvement in every bodybuilder with stabilityif you want to know more about HYDROLYSIS PROTEIN. or want to order a natural HYDROLYSIS PROTEIN than contact me on this number......Mr. JATIN SABHARWAL0-99-99-69-19-68

If a polypeptide contains 9 peptide bonds, how many amino acids does it contain?
Producers are living things that begin every food chain.
In eukaryotes, every newly-translated protein begins with the amino acid methionine (Met, M). This is because the start codon that signals the beginning of translation is AUG, which is also the codon for methionine - so the correlation is obligatory. The methionine may be removed during post-translational processing/modification.In prokaryotes, however, every newly-translated protein begins with formylmethionine (fMet), a methionine derivative with a formyl group added to the amino group. This difference can be used as a target for antibiotic therapy. As with methionine, the formylmethionine can be removed after translation.
Proteins, large and complex biomolecules, are made of amino acids. The amino acids react together to form longer chains called polypeptides. The so-called primary structure of a protein is determined by the specific amino acid sequence unique to every protein, whereas its secondary structure depends on how the polypeptide chain is coiled. The tertiary structure of a protein is finally how the protein looks in 3D. And if several polypeptides interact, forming an even bigger structure, then the protein is said to have a quaternary structure. There are essential and non-essential amino acids. The non-essential ones are made in the body, whereas the essential amino acids must be found in the diet.
Every 3 bases specifies either an amino acid or a terminator. The amino acid sequence creates the protein. The terminator ends the protein.
Proteins are actually strings of linked amino acids. Amino acids are critical to life, and have a variety of roles in metabolism. One particularly important function is as the building blocks of proteins, which are linear chains of amino acids. Every protein is chemically defined by this primary structure, its unique sequence of amino acid residues, which in turn define the three-dimensional structure of the protein. Just as the letters of the alphabet can be combined to form an almost endless variety of words, amino acids can be linked together in varying sequences to form a vast variety of proteins. I've got this from www.wikipedia.com
every amino acid is difined by a set of 3 baces. If you change the amino acids you change the protien.
'Translation' means to render something into another form. This word is used because the rRNA is using the code on the mRNA to make a protein. It's like changing the 'language' from RNA codes to a physical protein structure; the amino acids are like letters of protein language and every 3 codons of the RNA are the letters of the RNA language.
Amino acids are the basic building blocks of proteins.
