Protein.
Polypeptides are commonly referred to as Proteins (as proteins are chains of peptide molecules)
No, a polypeptide is not an amino acid. A polypeptide is a chain of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and are the individual units that make up a polypeptide chain.
Yes, some polypeptide hormones are synthesized from the amino acids tyrosine and tryptophan. For example, thyroid hormones such as thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) are derived from tyrosine, while serotonin and melatonin are derived from tryptophan.
The correct order from smallest to largest is: amino acid, polypeptide, protein. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, which are made up of one or more polypeptide chains. The polypeptide chains fold and interact to form the final protein structure.
Polypeptides are chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds.
A pleated sheet organization in a polypeptide chain is an example of secondary protein structure, specifically beta sheet secondary structure. It involves hydrogen bonding between neighboring polypeptide strands running in opposite directions.
Meat is a polypeptide. Any string or group of 50 amino acids is a polypeptide this includes DNA or RNA as well as many enzymes.
Polypeptides are proteins, just they are short. For example, Insulin is a protein of just 56 amino-acids; it could be considered to be a very large polypeptide.
Hemoglobin - formed with alpha helices and/or beta sheets, but as one, contiguous polypeptide. Superoxide dismutase would be a good example of a quaternary structure protein, since it is made of more than one polypeptide chain.
the answer would be.... polypeptide
