What makes up protein what are the subunits called and what bonds them together?
Proteins are made up of amino acids. The bond between amino acids is called a peptide bond, which occurs between the carbon atom of the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the nitrogen atom of the amino group of another amino acid. Please see the related link to see an illustration of two amino acids bonding to form a peptide bond.
What is polypeptide?
The official definition of a polypeptide is a linear organic polymer consisting of a large number of amino-acid residues bonded together in a chain, forming part of (or the whole of) a protein molecule. (a string of amino acids)
What makes up proteins what are the subunits called?
Proteins are composed of amino acids. These 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.
What types of bonds link amino acids?
Amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds to form peptide chains. This bond is between the carboxylic acid group of one amino acid and the amino group of another react in a dehydration reaction.
Proteins are made up of many?
Amino acids... Like this Protien>amino acids>RNA nucleotides The amazing thing is that only 20 different amino acids exist in the human body yet mix/match/repeat to make all of the protiens in the body!
A bond that holds three or more amino acids together are called what?
bondiest
What are protein bonds called?
a peptide bond is the covalent bond that holds two amino acids together.
What type of covalent bond holds together the amino acids in DNA?
There are no amino acids in desoxy ribo nucleic acid: its is (desoxy)-ribose (carbohydrate)and nucleic acid not amino!
What non-covalent bond holds amino acids together?
Peptide bonds hold adjacent amino acids together. Peptide bonds are covalent. But the bonds that dictate the secondary, tertiary, and Quaternary structure of the resulting protein are generally hydrogen bonds, van der Walls interations, and hydrophobic interactions.
What is the difference between peptide and peptide bond?
a protein is many amino acids bonded together, amino acids are the basic building blocks of proteins, and a peptide bond is the bond that connects amino acids together
What is the bond that links two amino acids together?
The bond between two amino acids is a type of covalent bond called a peptide bond. When the two are joined together, they form a dipeptide.
When amino acids bond together what are formed?
proteins
What is the job of peptide bond?
Bonding amino acids together in proteins, polypeptides.
What typed of bond is formed between amino acids?
A peptide bond is the covalent bond formed between amino acids. This pepetide bond is the primary linkage between protein structures
What molecules bond together to produce a protein?
Amino acids.
Molecules that bond together to produce a protein is what?
Amino Acids
What type of bond is a peptide bond?
A chemical bond formed through a condensation reaction that holds together the building blocks of proteins. Usually 2 sub units of amino acids.
