What is the minimum number of amino acids in protein?

there is only 20 amin acid in our bodies but we only use 11 of them


How many amino acids do living things contain?

There are twenty amino acids, of which around half are made in the body. The other 10 are called 'essential amino acids', because they cannot be formed in our cells, so we must take them in, in our diet.

amino acids?? 20 amino acids


What is a protein molecule made of and how many of these are there?

A protein molecule is made of amino acids linked together in a specific sequence. There are 20 common amino acids that can be used to build proteins. The number of amino acids in a protein can vary, ranging from a few dozen to thousands.


Oligopeptides are a string of how many amino acids?

Oligopeptides are composed of 2 to 20 amino acids. They are shorter than polypeptides, which typically consist of more than 20 amino acids.


Amino acids can be distinguished from one another by?

Amino acids can be distinguished from one another by their side chain or R-group. The side chain's structure, size, charge, and polarity can greatly vary between amino acids, contributing to their unique properties and functions in biological systems. This variation allows for the diverse roles amino acids play in protein structure, function, and regulation.


How many amino acids could be found in the human body?

There are twenty common protein amino acids in your body, of which half can be formed in the cells. The remainder need to be consumed in our diet, as our body cannot make them, yet they are still vital. There are 2 other amino acids very ocassionally used in proteins (only one in humans) meaning that are 21 different protein amino acids in humans. Some biological pathways use other types of amino acids not found in proteins. There are at least six additional ones found in humans, but it would be difficult to determine an exact number.


What do the 20 amino acids vary in?

The amino acids vary in the side groups, usually designated by "R" on the chemical structures for amino acids. The invariant parts are the amino group (NH2-), central (-CH-) group, and the carboxyl (-COOH) group. Connected to the central carbon on the (-CH-) group is a side group which is part that varies.


What are the component of amino acid?

The 20 amino acids vary in structure by the R-group, otherwise all amino acids are the same in structure. All amino acids have a carboxyl group, an amino group, an R-group, and a hydrogen which are all bonded to a central carbon. It is the R-groups that make the amino acids react in different ways and alter the structure of the protein.


Are there more than 20 amino acids in existence?

Yes, there are more than 20 amino acids in existence. While there are 20 standard amino acids that are commonly found in proteins, there are also non-standard amino acids that occur naturally or can be synthesized.


What are the proteins of a monomer?
