What specific amino acid that codes for part of a protein?

That MAY have happened 3.5 billion years ago ... but not today. DNA carries the codes for amino acid sequences. RNA transfers the codes. Ribosomes link the amino acids into proteins. Amino acids don't code for proteins, genes do. The base sequence in the genes codes for how the amino acids should be sequenced to make proteins.


Why is the sequence of amino acids significant in building proteins?

dna gives codes for 1 of20 amino acids. amino acids form chains and a complete chain is a protein.

How many amino acids does this DNA sequence code for TCAGCCACCTATGGA?

The DNA sequence TCAGCCACCTATGGA codes for the mRNA sequence UCAGCCACCUAUGGA, which translates to the amino acids Serine-Alanine-Threonine-Tryptophan. Therefore, this DNA sequence codes for 4 amino acids.


What are the basic units of protein?

Amino acidsAmino acids, of which there are about 20 basic types make up proteins. Some different amino acids are cysteine, alanine, lysine, leucine, phenylalanine, valine, methionine and isoleucine, histidine, proline, serine, tryptophan, aspartic acid and glycine. Amino acids are composed of a carboxyl group (COOH group), a NH2 group or amine group, a hydrogen, and an R-group (all around a central carbon).Amino acids string themselves into chains to form polypeptides. Polypeptides react with one another to form structures (many globular) called proteins.The seqence of amino acids is essential to the type of protein formed. For example one protein that has its amino acid chain starting alanine-alanine-lysine is a completely different protein to one that begins alanine-lysine-alanine for example.amino acids


Different enzymes are composed of different sequences of?

amino acids, which contribute to their unique structures and functions. The specific sequence of amino acids in an enzyme is determined by the gene that codes for it. Changes in the amino acid sequence can affect the enzyme's activity and specificity.
