The -NH2 group is called an amino group.
All the amino acids found in proteins are alpha amino acids. Of the 20 amino acids that are coded for by DNA, 19 have an -NH2 group on the alpha carbon (the carbon adjacent to the carboxyl group). The other amino acid, proline, is similar but the N contributes to a ring formed with the side-chain, and is therefore -NH- .
The atoms in the amino group of all amino acids are nitrogen (N) and hydrogen (H), as the amino group is composed of an amino (-NH2) functional group.
nitrogenAmino acids are made up of a carbon atom with four groups attached: an amino group, an acid group, a hydrogen atom, and an R group. The amino group is made up of one nitrogen atom with three hydrogen atoms attached to it.
Proteins are composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen atoms. Some proteins also contain sulfur atoms. These elements form the building blocks of amino acids, which are linked together to form the primary structure of proteins.
It stands for an amino group.
no unless yes is the right answer
The atoms in the amino group of all amino acids are nitrogen (N) and hydrogen (H), as the amino group is composed of an amino (-NH2) functional group.
There are two elements. They are hydrogen and nitrogen atoms.
Ammonia is composed of nitrogen and hydrogen.
Acetyl is a chemical made up of nitrogen and two hydrogen atoms
nitrogenAmino acids are made up of a carbon atom with four groups attached: an amino group, an acid group, a hydrogen atom, and an R group. The amino group is made up of one nitrogen atom with three hydrogen atoms attached to it.
Nitrogen is composed of molecules each containing two nitrogen atoms
Proteins are composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen atoms. Some proteins also contain sulfur atoms. These elements form the building blocks of amino acids, which are linked together to form the primary structure of proteins.
Ammonia is composed of one nitrogen atom and three hydrogen atoms, giving it the chemical formula NH3.
No, it is a molecules composed of a nitrogen atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms.
Proteins are made of amino acids. The general structure of an amino acid has four components bonded to a single carbon atom. The four components are: a hydrogen atom, a carboxylate group, an amino group, and a variable "R" group. The carboxylate group contains only carbon and oxygen. The amino group contains nitrogen and hydrogen. The most common atoms of protein would be carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen.
