Can amino acid be used more than once in protein?
yes mostly amino acid are used to synthesize the amino acid but also other can be found from glcolysis
How many amino acid has more than one chiral centers?
Isoleucine and Threonine
How many amino acids make a codon?
One codon specifies a specific amino acid. However, more than one codon can code for the same amino acid. For example, the codon GUU codes for the specific amino acid valine; and the codons GUC, GUA, and GUG also code for valine.
All amino acids are specified by only one codon?
No. Some are specified by only one codon eg. methionine and tryptophan. But some have more than one codon eg. threonine.
What if a mutation caused a change in the code the message read GGA instead of GGC?
The amino acid that is produced by UGG would be different than the amino acid produced by UGC.
There can be more than one for the same amino acid?
There can be more than one codon for the same amino acid. The codon is the three letter code that is found in the mRNA.
Can amino acid be used more than once in protein?
yes mostly amino acid are used to synthesize the amino acid but also other can be found from glcolysis
The genetic code is nearly universal in that?
The genetic code is said to be universal because a codon represents the same amino acids in almost all organisms. There are more than one codon for the same amino acid.
How many amino acid has more than one chiral centers?
Isoleucine and Threonine
How many amino acids make a codon?
One codon specifies a specific amino acid. However, more than one codon can code for the same amino acid. For example, the codon GUU codes for the specific amino acid valine; and the codons GUC, GUA, and GUG also code for valine.
How can only four bases in rna carry intructions for 20 different amino acids?
It takes a set of three RNA bases to code for one amino acid. Since there are 4 different bases in RNA, there are 4 x 4 x 4 = 64 possible combinations. This is many more combinations than is necessary to code for 20 amino acids. The reason that there are more than 20 is that some combinations code for the same amino acid.
The genetic code is degenerate?
Each amino acid can be specified by more than one codon.
What about the degenracy of genetic code?
Type your answer here... the degenracy of code means there are more than one codons for one amino acid.The opposite of it ie.non-degeneracy of codon means ther is only one codon for one amino acid.
How is a genetic code is redundant?
There are 64 codons, that code for only 20 amino acids. This make the genetic code redundant - because different codons can code for the same amino acid.This provides some protection against mistakes - because a replacement of a single base may end up coding for the same amino acid - causing no change to the final protein product.
Is it impossible for an amino acid to be specified by more than one codon?
No. On the contrary, most amino acids are specified by more than one codon. Click on the related link to see a table of amino acids and their codons from the Algorithmic Arts website.
All amino acids are specified by only one codon?
No. Some are specified by only one codon eg. methionine and tryptophan. But some have more than one codon eg. threonine.
What is the acid part of an amino acid?
An acidic acid is something with a pH of less than 7.0. Actually this term is used for Amino acids having carboxylic groups higher than amino groups.
