What is a chain of more than 50 amino acids?

A chain of more than 50 amino acids is called a protein. Chains of amino acids in general can be called polypeptides - which refers to the type of bond between the amino acids (a peptide bond).


What is the relationship among amino acids.polypeptides and proteins?

Amino acids are the basic unit of proteins. Amino acids linked together by a peptide bond forms a chain of amino acids called a polypeptide. When the amino acids from different parts of the chain interact with each other and form hydrogen bonds, the polypeptide chain takes on a unique shape, forming a protein.


Amino acids are classified as what and what?

Of the 20 amino acids, 10 must be taken in from an outside source; these are called nonessential amino acids.============================================================Actually its the other way round, amino acids that the human body can't manufacture are called essential amino acids. Non-essential amino acids are able to be produced by the body. Of the 20 amino acids that our bodies use, the adult body is able to manufacture 12For more information, check the link below


Which type of macro molecule is made of amino acids?

Proteins are the type of macromolecules made of amino acids. Each protein is a chain of amino acids folded into a specific three-dimensional structure that determines its function.


Covalent bond between 2 amino acids?

A bond between two amino acids is called a Peptide bond. Two or more amino acids joined in this way is called a polypeptide. The COOH (carboxyl) group of one amino acid joins with the H2N (Amino) group of another Amino Acid to bond and condense out a water molecule (H2O) and so is called condensation polymersation

What do you call a chain of 25 amino acids?

a chain of 25 amino acids can be called a peptide chain ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two or united amino acids form a *dipeptide* Three a *tripeptide* Ten or more a *polypeptide* More than 50 *protine* Therefore a chain of 25 amino acids is a polypeptide :D


How are amino acids are put together by peptide bonds to form polypeptides?

three or more amino acids are needed.


What are the polymers in protein?

Proteins are polymers of amino acids. The monomer of proteins is amino acids. Chains of amino acids are polypeptides and are called proteins if there are more than 20 amino acids in the chain.


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.


What is a molecule consisting of two or more amino acids called?

A molecule consisting of two or more amino acids linked together is called a peptide. Peptides can vary in size, with smaller peptides typically referred to as dipeptides (2 amino acids), tripeptides (3 amino acids), or oligopeptides (2-20 amino acids).

What do protein consist of?

Proteins are polymers made up of amino acid monomers. Any chain of two or more amino acids is called a peptide. When many amino acids are joined together, the result is called a polypeptide, or a protein.


Which are the amino acids that make up protein?

This question doesn't make much sense. There are more than three amino acids found in proteins. There are about 20. Some amino acids are more common than others, for example glutamine is one of the most common found in humans.
