Amino acids are the basic building blocks (monomers) of proteins. Two amino acids joined together by peptide bonds forms a dipeptide. Many amino acids in a chain form a polypeptide. One or many polypeptides folded/folded together form/s a protein.
There are twenty common amino acids (examples are alanine, tryptophan, methionine and valine). They all consist of a central carbon atom linked to an R group (also called a side chain), a hydrogen atom, an amino (NH2) group and a carboxylic acid (COOH) group. The different amino acids (like the 4 examples above) differ in the structure of their R groups.
Glycine's R group is a single H atom. Phenylalanine's R group differs from alanine's R group by a phenyl group. Alanine's R group is simply CH3 (a methyl group).

Proteins are made up of monomers called amino acids.
Proteins are made from small units called?
Proteins are made up of smaller units called amino acids which are strung together to form proteins which can be of different sizes and shapes.
Protein molecules are composed of long chains of .?
amino acids
Can hydroxyl groups be found on all amino acids?
No, hydroxyl groups are not found on all amino acids. Hydroxyl groups are typically found on amino acids such as serine and threonine, but are not present on all amino acids.
What monomer makes up enzyme?
Enzymes are typically made up of protein molecules, which are made up of long chains of amino acids. Each specific enzyme has its unique sequence of amino acids that gives it its specific structure and function.
Proteins are formed of building blocks called?
