Peptide sequence or amino acid sequence is the order in which amino acid residues, connected by peptide bonds, lie in the chain in peptides and proteins. The sequence is generally reported from the N-terminal end containing free amino group to the C-terminal end containing free carboxyl group. Peptide sequence is often called protein sequence if it represents the primary structure of a protein.

What refers to translating the sequence of nucleic acids to the sequence of amino acids?

Transcription.


Proteins are made up of what strung together?

Proteins are made by joining together a chain of amino acids. Depending on the order in which these are joined, different proteins are formed.


Are Amino Acids joined during translation?

No, amino acids are joined together to form a protein during the process of translation. Transfer RNA (tRNA) carries the specific amino acids to the ribosome where they are joined together in the correct order according to the mRNA sequence. This forms a polypeptide chain which then folds into a functional protein.


How are Amino acids joined together and broken down?

no


What can be joined by polymerization to form proteins?

Amino acids can be joined together through polymerization to form proteins. This process involves linking amino acids together in a specific sequence dictated by the genetic code, ultimately creating long chains that fold into complex protein structures.

Which of the following refers to the amino acid sequence of proteins?

In order to answer this question, you must, and prpbably do have the codon sequences of the RNA or DNA, and a chart saying what each codon codes for in terms of amino acids. The mRNA from transcription is what the sheet probably has on it, with each codon contained therin signaling a certain amino acid. If you can post the sequence or something like that, then ill sertainly answer it for you.

What are the subunites of protein?

The subunits of proteins are called amino acids. Amino acid molecules are smaller than protein molecules and are inside of the protein molecules.Amino acids are joined together by peptide bonds where the -COOH group and the -NH2 group of two consecutive amino acids bond with the loss of a water molecule. The sequence of the amino acids make up the primary structure of the protein.There are proteins composed of one long polypeptide chain (which means lots of amino acids linked). There are also proteins, like hemoglobin, which are made up of two or more polypeptide chains, joined together.For example, "tetramer" refers to a protein with four subunits, or four different polypeptide chains.


Is A polypeptide is a sequence of proteins or amino acids?

A polypeptide is a chain of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. It is not a sequence of proteins, but rather a precursor to protein formation. When a polypeptide chain folds into a specific structure, it becomes a functional protein.
