What else can I help you with?
What is the enzyme for a protein substrate?
Protease enzymes, such as trypsin or pepsin, are responsible for breaking down protein substrates into smaller peptides and amino acids by catalyzing hydrolysis of peptide bonds.
What is the process called when amino acids are joined together and broken down?
Amino acids are joined together through condensation reactions (producing the peptide bond) and are broken down by hydrolysis (breaking the peptide bond).
What type of building blocks would you use to construct a protein?
Amino acids
A Protein is a long chain of what?
A protein is a long chain of amino acids. That are linked by dehydration synthesis to form peptide bonds.
Which enzyme finally reduces protein to amino acids?
The enzyme that ultimately reduces proteins to amino acids is called peptidase, specifically dipeptidases and aminopeptidases. These enzymes hydrolyze peptide bonds between amino acids, breaking down peptides into individual amino acids. Peptidases are found in the digestive system, particularly in the small intestine, where they play a crucial role in protein digestion.

Subunit of Protein?
Amino acids
What are the amino acids you created in your protein chain?
They are Protein Sub-Unit amino acids.
What mechanism is responsible for the sequencing of amino acids?
The sequencing of amino acids in a protein is determined by the order of nucleotides in the gene that codes for that protein. During protein synthesis, the sequence of nucleotides in messenger RNA (mRNA) is translated into the sequence of amino acids. This process is carried out by the ribosome and transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules.
What is directly responsible for the sequence of amino acids in a protein?
The sequence of amino acids in a protein is directly determined by the sequence of nucleotides in the gene that codes for that protein. This process occurs during protein synthesis, where the genetic information is transcribed from DNA to mRNA and then translated into a specific sequence of amino acids.
Is an amino acid a mRNA or tRNA?
An amino acid is not mRNA or tRNA. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, while mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome to be translated into a protein, and tRNA is responsible for bringing specific amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.
Which RNA is responsible for bringing amino acids to the factory site for protein formation?
Transfer RNA (tRNA) is responsible for bringing amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis. Each tRNA molecule carries a specific amino acid and has an anticodon region that matches with the codon on the mRNA, allowing the correct amino acid to be added to the growing protein chain.
What type of building blocks would you use to construct a protein?
Amino acids
The order of amino acids is a protein's?
The order of amino acids in a protein determines its structure and function.
Why are amino acids call the building blocks of protein?
because protein are formed from amino acids
What would Hydrolysis of a protein produce?
Hydrolysis of a protein would break down the protein into its constituent amino acids. This process involves adding water to the protein molecule, causing the peptide bonds between amino acids to be cleaved, resulting in the release of individual amino acids.
