What is a protein made of?
A protein molecule is a long chain of amino acids. There are 22 different amino acids and their chemical properties determine the shape of the protein which determines the function of the protein.
Amino acids link together in a protein with what bonds?
Amino acids link together in a protein through peptide bonds. These bonds form between the amino group of one amino acid and the carboxyl group of another amino acid, resulting in a chain of linked amino acids called a polypeptide.
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 kind of bond exists between two amino acids in a protein?
A peptide bond exists between two amino acids in a protein. This bond forms by a dehydration reaction between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another amino acid, resulting in the formation of a covalent bond and the release of a water molecule.
What molecules form protiens when linked together with covalent bonds?
Amino acids are the molecules that form proteins when linked together by covalent bonds. The covalent bonds between amino acids are called peptide bonds, and the chain of amino acids linked together by these bonds forms a polypeptide chain, which then folds into a functional protein.
What would Hydrolysis of a protein produce?
Hydrolysis of a protein would break down the protein into its constituent amino acids. This process involves adding water to the protein molecule, causing the peptide bonds between amino acids to be cleaved, resulting in the release of individual amino acids.
The linkages between amino acids in a protein are called?
The linkages between amino acids in a protein are called peptide bonds. These covalent bonds form between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another amino acid during the process of protein synthesis.
Subunit of Protein?
Amino acids
What influences protein shape that determines protein function?
Amino acid sequence primarily determines a proteins shape, but secondary (alpha helix and beta sheet) and tertiary structures (Hydrogen bonding, other chemical bonding between structures) adds to it.
What are the amino acids you created in your protein chain?
They are Protein Sub-Unit amino acids.
What type of building blocks would you use to construct a protein?
Amino acids
The order of amino acids is a protein's?
The order of amino acids in a protein determines its structure and function.
Why are amino acids call the building blocks of protein?
because protein are formed from amino acids
What is a nutrient made up of amino acids?
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins; hence the intake of amino acids will act nutritionally as protein.
A Protein is a long chain of what?
A protein is a long chain of amino acids. That are linked by dehydration synthesis to form peptide bonds.
Protein are polymer of?
Proteins are polymers of amino acids.
What string makes up a protein?
amino acids amino acids
