A codon consisting of three nitrogen bases in mRNA represents an amino acid in a protein sequence through the genetic code. Each specific codon corresponds to a unique amino acid, allowing for the translation of the genetic information into the protein structure.
False. A peptide bond joins the carboxyl group of one amino acid to the amino group of another amino acid.
Yes, glycine is an amino acid.
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.
Yes, tyrosine is a polar amino acid.
The general formula of an amino acid is R-CH(NH2)-COOH, where R represents the side chain specific to each amino acid. This formula represents the basic structure common to all amino acids, which includes an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxyl group (-COOH) bonded to a central carbon atom.
The amino acid responsible for the Hopkins-Cole reaction test is tryptophan. Its formula is C11H12N2O2.

Not usually. The acid part of an amino acid has the empirical formula -CO2H and the amino part usually has the formula -NH2.
The codon AUG represents the amino acid methionine, which serves as the start codon for protein synthesis. The codon GUG typically codes for the amino acid valine.
No, formic acid is not a simple amino acid. It is a simple carboxylic acid with the chemical formula HCOOH. Amino acids are organic compounds containing an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxyl group (-COOH).
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and have a general structure of NH2-CHR-COOH, where R represents a side chain that varies among different amino acids. Each amino acid differs in its side chain, which contributes to its unique chemical properties and functions in the body. The 20 standard amino acids can be classified based on the properties of their side chains.
The word "amino acid" has to my knowledge no chemical name. However below are the names of the twenty different amino acids: Glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, methionine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, proline, serine, threonine, cysteine, tyrosine, asparagine, glutamine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, lysine, arginine and histidine
At the end of every code for an amino acid is the suffix -ineFor Example:MethionineValineLeucineAlanineSerineThis should probably be it :)
It's usually referred to as hydrofluoric acid and its chemical formula is simply HF
No, every amino acid has its own structural (molecular) formula.
There is no amino acid sequence in aspartate.Related Information:Aspartate is the anion of an amino acid by itself: -OOCCH(NH2)CH2COO-Aspartic acid is an α-amino acid with the chemical formula HOOCCH(NH2)CH2COOH. This is one of the 20 proteinogenic amino acids.
