Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, and as such are always smaller than them. No amino acids are the building blocks to protein, so that is like asking if a brick (the amino acid) is bigger than the wall (the protein).

Is A polypeptide is a sequence of proteins or amino acids?

A polypeptide is a chain of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. It is not a sequence of proteins, but rather a precursor to protein formation. When a polypeptide chain folds into a specific structure, it becomes a functional protein.


In protein synthesis a nucleus forms peptide bonds?

In protein synthesis, peptide bonds are formed in the ribosome, not in the nucleus. The nucleus is responsible for housing the DNA and transcribing it into messenger RNA (mRNA) for protein synthesis to occur in the ribosome.

Peptide bonds join the monomers in a protein's primary structure.


Proteins are held together by what?

Proteins are held together by peptide bonds, which are formed between the amino acids that make up the protein chain. These bonds help create the three-dimensional structure of the protein, allowing it to perform its specific functions.


What is the significance of a trans peptide bond in protein structure and function?

A trans peptide bond in protein structure is significant because it affects the protein's overall shape and stability. It can influence how the protein folds and interacts with other molecules, ultimately impacting its function in the body.
