- amino group, carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom, and variable group (R)
- grouped according to side chains
- 1 group can be hydrophobic
- 1 group can have sides that are hydrophilic
- with a carboxyl group, could have a negative charge
- but would normally have a positive charge
- notice that all amino acids have carboxyl groups and amino groups
- acidic and basic only refer to groups on side chains
- because they are charged, acidic and basic side chains are also hydrophilic
What else can I help you with?
How many distinct dipeptides can be made from the four amino acids leucine histidine alanine and valine?
There are a total of 16 possible dipeptides that can be formed from combining the four amino acids (4 amino acids * 4 amino acids = 16 dipeptides).
What is the monomer of a protein polymer?
The monomers of proteins are known as amino acids....A further explanation:Do not confuse amino acids with nucleic acids. Nucleic acids are DNA and RNA and are another one of the BIG 4 macromolecules that are needed to survive.The 4 are:Carbohydrates (monomer: monosaccaride)Proteins (monomer: amino acids)Lipids (monomer: fatty acids)Nucleic Acids (monomer: nucleotides)
What is the correct paring of the 4 amino acids?
The correct pairing of the 4 amino acids is based on complementary base pairing in nucleic acids: adenine pairs with thymine, and cytosine pairs with guanine.
Proteins are digested to their building blocks which are called?
peptides which are constructed from amino-acids
Why are amino acids called amino acids?
Amino acids are called amino acids because they contain an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxyl group (-COOH) in their chemical structure. These two functional groups are essential for the formation of proteins and are characteristic of all amino acids.
How many distinct dipeptides can be made from the four amino acids leucine histidine alanine and valine?
There are a total of 16 possible dipeptides that can be formed from combining the four amino acids (4 amino acids * 4 amino acids = 16 dipeptides).
Do enzymes deal with amino acids?
Sort of. If you've got a chain of amino acids, there are enzymes that can fragment that chain, according to their degree of degradation - either you get smaller chain parts or it will be cut down to the single amino acids.

What are 3 amino acids?
There are 20-22amino acids. You may be refering to the 4 genetic bases. These are Guanine, Adenine, Thymine and Cytosine.
Proteins are formed of building blocks called?
Amino acids held together by peptide bonds.
Which cell part is directly involved in the bonding of amino acids to form proteins?
The two parts of the ribosomes come together to transform amino acids into protiens.
Proteins are made up of monomers called?
Proteins are made up of monomers called amino acids.
What are the constituent parts of proteins?
Proteins are made up of amino acids, which are connected together in a specific sequence to form a polypeptide chain. There are 20 different types of amino acids that can be found in proteins, each with their own unique side chain. The sequence of amino acids in a protein determines its structure and function.
How many amino acids are in an average protein?
4
How many amino acid sequences can be made from four amino acids?
There are 20 common amino acids (pre-modification). In a set of any four, each one could be one of 20, meaning there are 204 possible combinations: 160,000. If the question was meant to be "how many amino acids can be made from 4 triplet codons then the answer would still be exactly the same. Even though there are 4 bases, meaning there are 64 different codes possible, there are still only 20 amino acids available. If the question was meant to be "how many amino acids can be made from 4 bases" you can only make one (which could be any of 20 different residues), as you need three bases to code one amino acid. See the related question below for a listing of the types of amino acids.
How many acids are their?
amino acids?? 20 amino acids
How many amino acids does the strand of DNA code for?
A strand of DNA codes for amino acids through the sequence of nucleotides. Each group of three nucleotides, called a codon, corresponds to one amino acid. There are 20 standard amino acids that can be encoded by DNA.
