What amino acid is technically not an amino acid?
proline is not an amino acid it is an imino acid
Each codon calls for a specific?
amino acid
Is phosphoric acid an amino acid?
Nope. To my knowledge there are only two acidic amino acids: Aspartic acid and glutamic acid.
What is glycogenic amino acid?
Glycogenic amino acid is an amino acid that can be converted into glycogen bodies throught glycogenesis
Why is glutamic acid an acidic amino acid and lysine a basic amino acid?
Glutamic acid has a carboxylic acid (COO-) group on the gamma carbon of the amino acid. The carboxylic acid group carries a negative charge and is considered acidic. Lysine has a amino group (NH3+) on the zeta carbon of the amino acid. The positively charged group on the terminal carbon atom makes it an basic amino acid.
Is substitution mutations or insertion mutations worse?
Insertions generally are more harmful. An insertion causes a "frameshift" to occur, thus changing the entire amino acid sequence of the entire strand. Substitutions only change one base, which can sometimes not mess up the amino acid sequence at all.
How does a single amino acid substitution cause hemoglobin molecules to stick together?
It is when the valines link up and causes the globins to stick
In terms of producing a changed protein which causes a more drastic change- base substitution or additiondeletion?
Base substitution, due to the way the RNA translates into amino acids for the proteins, simply causes one amino acid to be different. Addition or deletion, however, cause the entire chain to shift, meaning each amino acid from that point in the chain on will be changed, creating an entirely different protein.
What type of mutation causes sickle cell anemia substitution deletion insertion mutagen?
The type of mutation that causes a defect in the gene (causing sickle cell anaemia) is a substitution mutation.A single nucleotide substitution (A to T) in the β-globin gene causes the amino acid valine to replace glutamic acid. This changes the resulting protein, causing a haemoglobin with an abnormal shape to be created.
Sickle cell is caused by an amino acid substitution of valine for?
yes
What type of mutation causes protein to be synthesized with one incorrect amino acid?
Missense
What is a Missence mutation?
A mutation that causes the code for the wrong amino acid (apexvs.com)
Which type of mutation does not change the amino produced?
Well consider the substitution of one hydrophillic amino acid for another hydrophillic amino acid. This type of mutation changes nothing but a molecular marker. or Silent
An example of mutation?
The substitution of one triplet code in the DNA that codes for an mRNA that codes for an amino acid that makes up a protein. Sickle cell trait is an example of this. One amino acid substitution in a B chain of hemoglobin and you have an allele that will code for sickle cell trait.
Which type of mutation does not change the amino acids produced?
Well consider the substitution of one hydrophillic amino acid for another hydrophillic amino acid. This type of mutation changes nothing but a molecular marker. or Silent
What is the ratio of an amino acid?
Amino acid refers to one of a class or organic compounds that contain NH2 and the COOH group. They amino acids usually occur naturally in plants and animal tissues.
What amino acid component of aspartame or nutarsweet causes PKU?
phenylalanine
