Amino acids typically contain two main functional groups: an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxyl group (-COOH). Additionally, many amino acids also have a side chain (R group) that can contain other functional groups, contributing to their diverse properties. Thus, while the core structure includes two functional groups, the total number can vary depending on the specific amino acid's side chain.
What else can I help you with?
Is OH found in many proteins?
If you mean the hydroxyl functional group (-OH), then only serine and threonine contain it. However, all amino acids contain one or more carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional groups and they all contain OH as part of that functional group, though the carboxylic acid functional group should be considered a single unit.
Do molecules have just one functional group or can they have more than one?
Molecules can have more than one functional group. In fact, many molecules have multiple functional groups, each of which can impart specific chemical properties to the molecule. These functional groups can interact with other molecules in different ways, leading to a wide variety of chemical reactions and biological activities.
Is it true that an Amino functional group is -NH2 but amino acid list it as -NH3 does it matter how many hydrogen atom exists to be a functional group?
The amine group is NH2. But to form an anino acid you also need to have a COOH group. An amino acid contains the highly nucleophilic Nitrogen lone pair. In acid conditions the NH3 is formed from the dissociation of the acid functional group coordinated onto the Nitrogen forming a zwitter ion. HOOCRNH2 +H2O <---> -OOCRNH2 + H3O+ <---> -OOCRNH3+ + H2O
Is iron an amino acid?
No, iron is a mineral and not an amino acid. Iron is essential for many biological processes in the body, such as oxygen transport and energy production. Amino acids, on the other hand, are the building blocks of proteins.
how many amino acids are there in one turn of alpha helix?
3.6 amino acid.
How many mRNA codons are functional and code for an amino acid?
61

How many functional groups does the peptide MDFGRKCDE have that can be titrated?
The peptide MDFGRKCDE has four titratable functional groups which are the amino groups on the N-terminus, the side chain amino group of lysine (K), the carboxyl group of aspartate (D), and the carboxyl group of glutamate (E).
How many different R-groups are present in 3 different amino acids?
Three, one for each amino acid.

What does the general structure of an amino acid look like?
The general structure of an amino acid consists of a central carbon atom bound to an amino group (-NH2), a carboxyl group (-COOH), a hydrogen atom, and a side chain (R group) that defines the specific amino acid.
How many amino acids in collagen?
No. Well, yes. It depends on what you mean by "amino acid." Collagen is a protein and is therefore made up of amino acids rather than being an "amino acid" (as the term is generally used) itself. In a strict chemical sense, though, it is in fact an amino acid, as it contains both a carboxylic acid functional group and an amine functional group (at the C-terminal and N-terminal ends of the protein respectively).
How many amino acids are in tyrosine?
Tyrosine is an amino acid.
How many carboxylic acid groups does aspartate contain?
Aspartate contains one carboxylic acid group. This group is located on the side chain of the amino acid, specifically on the beta carbon.
How many amino acid are found in tripeptide if one amino acid has 150 molecular weight?
450
