How many atoms in a protein molecule?

Answer 1

Actually, proteins are made into a chain because they are connected to each other by their subunit, the amino acid. When translation makes polypeptide using mRNA, the amino acids connect to each other until the chain is completed, then hydrogen bonds and other means will bundle up the polypeptide chain to make a functional protein.

Answer 2

A protein molecule is composed of many atoms. On average, a protein molecule contains thousands of atoms, mainly carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. The exact number of atoms can vary depending on the size and structure of the protein.

Answer 3

Completely depends on the protein. Can range from 56 (Insulin) to several hundred.

Answer 4

500000
