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 are the four types of amino acids?
The four types of amino acids are essential, non-essential, conditionally essential, and branched-chain. Essential amino acids must be obtained from diet, non-essential amino acids can be synthesized by the body, conditionally essential amino acids are only needed in certain conditions, and branched-chain amino acids have a specific molecular structure.
How many amino acids in a protein?
There is a great degree of variability in the number of amino acids per protein. An answer to another question on WikiAnswers lists the shortest protein as 8 amino acids. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, the longest protein found in a sequenced genome is a "parallel beta-helix repeat-containing protein" in the organism Chlorobium chlorochromatii, this protein is 36,805 amino acids long.A protein may consist of as many as 5,000 amino acid molecules.
Are proteins large polypeptides?
As a matter of fact, yes. However the term polypeptide is a generic name given to a sequence of amino acids. This terminology varies among scientific researchers. In general terms, a peptide is the conjunction of two or more amino acids and up to 20 to 40 amino acid residues. Therefore, we have dipeptides (two amino acid residues linked by a peptide bond), tripeptides (three amino acids), oligopeptides (from 4 up to 20 or 40 amino acids) and polypeptides. In the particular case of polypeptides is important to mention that a polypeptide is a linear polymer formed by a sequence of amino acids linked "head to tail" by peptide bonds rather than forming branches chains. The range of lenght of polypeptides goes from about 40 to more than 4000 amino acid residues, that is, from an average of 4 to over 440 kD. In general terms, when a polypeptide is too long is called protein.

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.
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 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.
4 I make use of amino acids to manufacture my products in human body?
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and play a crucial role in various bodily functions, including the synthesis of hormones, enzymes, and neurotransmitters. The human body can produce some amino acids, known as non-essential amino acids, while others must be obtained from the diet, referred to as essential amino acids. These amino acids are utilized in processes such as muscle repair, immune function, and the production of vital substances that support overall health.
If you have 4 amino acids how many different proteins can you make?
it depends on the content of proteins present in the ammino acids!
What are the four types of amino acids?
The four types of amino acids are essential, non-essential, conditionally essential, and branched-chain. Essential amino acids must be obtained from diet, non-essential amino acids can be synthesized by the body, conditionally essential amino acids are only needed in certain conditions, and branched-chain amino acids have a specific molecular structure.
What is the theoretical number of chemically different dipeptides that may be assembled from 12 different types of amino acids?
the answer is C (144). The working is: 12^2 = 144. Here 12 is the no. of different amino acids and 2 is the no. of amino acids in the chain (its a dipeptide so, 2 amino acids).
Do peptide bond link amino acids?
Amino acids do not have hydrogen bonds. They only have an alpha corbon atom connected to 4 groups namely: Hydrogen A variable R group An amide group A carboxyl group
How many water molecules are released when you join five amino acids?
Three molecules of water are formed when four amino acids join together. This is the result of three amide bonds that underwent condensation reactions.
