Amino acids are composed of three parts:

1) an amino group (NH2)

2) a linking carbon atom with side chain (C-R)

3) a carboxyl group (COOH)

What structure in DNA is an amino acid?

There is none. DNA is a nucleic acid composed of nucleotides. There are no amino acids in DNA.


WHat molecule is the monomer used to build protein?

The monomer used to build proteins is called an amino acid. Proteins are composed of long chains of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds, forming polypeptide chains.


Where exactly does an amino acid link to a tRNA molecule?

An amino acid links to the tRNA molecule at the binding site called the "aminoacyl site" (A-site) on the tRNA molecule. This process is catalyzed by an enzyme called aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, which ensures the accurate pairing of the correct amino acid with its corresponding tRNA molecule.


What protein composed of?

Proteins are composed of polypeptides which are in turn composed of amino acids which are organic molecules and are composed of: Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen Nitrogen And a variable group (Can be a carbon, hydrogen, or sometimes a sulfur) All amino acids share a common structure, where an amino group is bonded to a carbon atom (designated the alpha carbon) which is in turn bonded to carboxylate (carboxyllic acid), a hydrogen and the variable group often denoted as the R group (except glycine which has a H for an R group). Amino acids combine through a dehydration mechanism which removes a hydroxyl group from the carboxyllic acid of one amino acid and the proton from another amino acid's amino group: the resultant bond is referred to as a peptide bond and is very stable and rigid (planar) due to delocalisation of the double bond of the carbonyl over to the N atom

Is acetic acid an amino acid?

No, acetic acid is not an amino acid. Acetic acid is a simple organic compound composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. Amino acids, on the other hand, are the building blocks of proteins and contain an amino group and a carboxyl group.

No, hydrochloric acid does not contain amino acids. Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid composed of hydrogen and chlorine atoms, whereas amino acids are organic compounds that contain an amino group and a carboxyl group.


What are parts of an amino acid?

All amino acid are composed of a central carbon (C) bonded to a hydrogen (H), an amine group (NH2), and a carboxylic acid group (HCO3). In addition, each amino acid has its own particular side-chain bonded to the central carbon.
