Proteins are made of Amino Acid "polymers" where each amino acid is like a link in a (polymer) chain. When you eat proteins your digestion system breaks them down into amino acids. The amino acids (flexible building blocks) are then absorbed into your body, and they are used to build (assemble) your proteins.
What else can I help you with?
The order of amino acids is a protein's?
The order of amino acids in a protein determines its structure and function.
Why does the order of amino acid acids affect the structure of a protein?
The order of amino acids can affect the protein's shape.
What is the order of amino acids in a protein?
The order of amino acids in a protein is determined by the sequence of nucleotides in the gene that codes for that protein. This sequence is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA) and then translated into a specific sequence of amino acids during protein synthesis.
What are the products of DNA translation?
A protein.
Why does the order of amino acids impact the structure of a protein?
The order of amino acids in a protein determines its unique three-dimensional structure, which is crucial for its function. This is because the sequence of amino acids influences how the protein folds and interacts with other molecules, ultimately determining its shape and function.
The ribosome use these amino acids to assemble new?
Ribosomes use messenger RNA or mRNA and transfer RNA or tRNA to encode Proteinogenic amino acids into protein. (If you want a further explanation, comment and I'll be happy to explain/share a link)
Proteins are made on the what?
Proteins are made on the ribosomes within cells. The ribosomes read the instructions from messenger RNA (mRNA) to assemble amino acids into a specific order, forming a protein molecule.
What is the monomer for building a protein?
Amino acids. There are twenty different amino acids that nature uses routinely to produce proteins. Nature has a very specific order for incorporating these amino acids to produce any specific protein. This order is coded by the genes of the organism and in an elaborate way, the code is interpreted into the order of amino acid incorporation during protein synthesis.
What is the Primary level of a protein structure?
The primary level of protein structure refers to the linear sequence of amino acids in a protein chain. It is the simplest level of protein structure and is determined by the specific order of amino acids encoded by the DNA sequence.
What is the relationship between the order of bases in DNA and the order of amino acids in the final protein?
The order of bases in DNA determines the order of amino acids in the final protein through the process of transcription and translation. During transcription, DNA is used as a template to synthesize mRNA, which carries the code for the amino acid sequence. Then, during translation, the ribosome reads the mRNA sequence in groups of three nucleotides called codons and matches each codon to the corresponding amino acid, ultimately determining the order in which the amino acids are assembled into a protein.
How many amino acids are there that make up proteins?
The number of amino acids/protein differ largely and is characteristic for each protein separately. A protein is composed of amino acids, and the function of the protein depends of the type and order of the amino acids. Because amino acids can be arranged in many different combinations, it's possible for your body to make thousands of different kinds of protein from just the same 20 amino acids.The simplest protein of life, ribonuclease, contains 124 amino acids. The "average" protein, though, contains several thousand amino acids, but those several thousand comprised only about 20 different kinds of amino acids.
What is a primary protein structure formed by?
A primary protein structure is formed by a linear sequence of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. This sequence is determined by the genetic information encoded in DNA.
