What is nonessinetial amino acids?
Nonessential amino acid is an amino acid which can be synthesized by an organism and thus need not be supplied in the diet.An alpha-amino acid that is required for protein synthesis and can be http://www.answers.com/topic/synthesize by humans
How many amino acids need to be joined together to form a protein?
At least two, otherwise it is just called an amino acid ;).
How much protein do muscles need after a work out?
A good amount of protein after a work about is about 20 grams of protein, which is best in a shake. Your muscles need protein and amino acid and other suppliments to repair your muscles from damage.
How many amino acids need to be incorrect to prevent protein from working properly in sickle cell anemia?
Just one incorrect amino acid prevents protein from functioning properly in sickle cell anemia.
What substances need a protein?
Protein is a polymer of amino acid. They are connected by peptide bonds.Proteins are needed for cellular function such as catalysis, transport, secretion, synthesis and so on.
How does polypeptide differ than an equal protein?
Both peptides and proteins are made up of strings of the body's basic building blocks – amino acids – and held together by peptide bonds. In basic terms, the difference is that peptides are made up of smaller chains of amino acids than proteins. ... As a general rule, a peptide contains two or more amino acids.
If a food does not contain the necessary amounts of a certain amino acid to meet a body need that amino acid is called what?
limiting amino acid
How many bases make up the code for one amino acid?
There are 3 nitrogen bases equalling one amino acid and they are called codons. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and in turn protein in science is one of the building blocks of life. The protein molecule has the chromosome strands. On each strand of the chromosome there are shapes in groups of 3 which is the RNA or the Ribonucleic Acid. Where the chromosomes are located, the strands have messengers that travel outside to the ribosomes to be decoded or decyphered. Once the RNA has been decoded by the ribosomes the amino acid is formed. The chronological order of the amino acid being decyphered determines the type of protein. Protein is essential for human growth as it helps with the repair of our muscles amoungst many of it's uses.
What are the roles of the DNA the mRNAthe rRNA and tRNA in Protein Synthesis?
mRNA (messenger RNA) - It's the only type of RNA that carries protein-building informationtRNA (transfer RNA) - Type of RNA that delivers amino acids to ribosomes during translation in the order specified by the mRNArRNA (ribosomal RNA) - A type of RNA that becomes part of ribosomes.For more information see the related questions below.
Why does your body changes protein into amino acid when it again has to convert it into protein?
Proteins are too large to pass through the cell membrane. Therefore proteins need to be broken down in order to enter a cell. These amino acids can then be recycled, and new proteins made.
What are two examples of amino acids?
glycine
Why are amino acids important in a pigs diet?
All animals need protein, and amino acids are the building blocks of protein.
