Depending upon the source, here a few examples:


In humans: Lysozyme C, 148 aa; Lysozyme G, 142 aa; Lysosymes D1 and D2, 194 aa.

In bovines: Lysozyme C, 147 aa.

Lysozyme from fruit fly: 140 aa.

Lysozyme from mouse: 148 aa.


There is a wide variety of isoforms among species.

How many peptide linkage are present in nanopeptide?

The number of peptide linkages in a nanopeptide will depend on the specific amino acid sequence of the peptide. Each peptide bond forms between the amino group of one amino acid and the carboxyl group of another amino acid, so the number of peptide linkages will be one less than the number of amino acids in the sequence.


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.


What functional groups are found in insulin?

Insulin contains a peptide functional group due to its protein structure. Additionally, it contains amino acid residues that contribute to its biological activity and role in controlling blood sugar levels.


How much nucleotides for 150 polypeptide?

To calculate the number of nucleotides required to code for a specific polypeptide, you need to know the number of amino acids in the polypeptide. Since each amino acid is coded by a codon made up of three nucleotides, you would need 3 times the number of amino acids to determine the total number of nucleotides required. For a 150 amino acid polypeptide, the number of nucleotides would be 150 (amino acids) * 3 (nucleotides per amino acid) = 450 nucleotides.


Why anthranilic acid is not a amino acid?

Anthranilic acid is not an amino acid because it lacks an amino group (-NH2) within its molecular structure, which is a defining feature of amino acids. Despite its name containing "acid," anthranilic acid is actually a precursor to various amino acids but is not classified as an amino acid itself.

Which amino acid is a thiol?

Cysteine is the amino acid that contains a thiol group (-SH) in its side chain. It can form disulfide bonds with other cysteine residues, contributing to protein structure and stability.


Is thyrogine a amino acid?

i think you mean..thyrogen? Thyrogen is comprised of two non-covalently linked subunits, an alpha subunit of 92 amino acid residues containing two N-linked glycosylation sites and a beta subunit of 118 residues containing one N-linked glycosylation site. The amino acid sequence of thyrotropin alfa is identical to that of human pituitary thyroid stimulating hormone.

What is the approximate molecular weight of a protein with 682 amino acid residues in a single polypeptide chain?

Haha wait are you in Amherst College biochemistry? What are the odds that 682 showed up on another college's problem set? Use 110 g/mol per amino acid (already corrected for the loss of water in amino acid condensation during formation of the protein) and multiply.

What is the difference between amino acid and amino acid residue?

An amino acid is a building block of proteins and contains an amine group, a carboxyl group, and a side chain. An amino acid residue is what remains of an amino acid after it has been incorporated into a protein, with the amine and carboxyl groups forming peptide bonds with other amino acids. Essentially, an amino acid residue is an amino acid within a protein structure.


The number of nucleotides required to specify an amino acid is?

Three nucleotides are required for an amino acid. These nucleotides are an amine, carbolic acid, and a side chain specific to the amino acid.
