Generally amino acids have an Amino group (-NH2) and a Carboxyl group (-COOH) attached to the same carbon atom, which is also called as Alpha carbon. Besides Hydrogen and R-Group is also attached with this carbon atom. R may be hydrogen, CH3 or any other group. For Example:
If R-group is hydrogen then it is called glycine or if it is CH3 then it is called alanine.
What else can I help you with?
Describe the composition in term of carbohydrates?
Amino acids
Do all amino acids have R groups that are polar?
Yes, all amino acids have the same basic composition, though the r-groups causes the variation. There are 20 different amino acids.
What makes eah of the amino acids in protens unique?
The composition of the side chains attached to it
Proteins are formed of building blocks called?
Amino acids held together by peptide bonds.
In general what makes one kind of amino acid different from other amino acids?
the side group
Proteins are made up of monomers called?
Proteins are made up of monomers called amino acids.
What is the monomer in wool?
Wool is made of the protein keratin. Amino acids are the building blocks (monomers) of proteins. Keratins are composed of amino acids, primarily the amino acids glycine and alanine. Given the wide variety of keratins, both alpha and beta, no single chemical composition or monomer can be defined. There are over 20 different amino acids that make up keratins. Cysteine can account for up to 24% of the keratin structure.
How many acids are their?
amino acids?? 20 amino acids
What molecule links together to form proteins?
Amino acids
What are protiens digested into?
They are digested into your mom
Do amino acids amino have an amino group?
No,fatty acids don't have an amino group
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).
