What else can I help you with?
Which hormone is most similar to oxytocin in chemical structure?
Vasopressin is the hormone most similar to oxytocin in chemical structure. Both hormones are nonapeptides, containing nine amino acids, and differ by only two amino acids in their structure.
Proteins are polymers formed from?
Proteins are polymers formed from amino acids, which are linked together by peptide bonds. The sequence of amino acids in a protein determines its unique structure and function. Proteins are essential for many biological processes in the body.
What is a primary protein structure formed by?
A primary protein structure is formed by a linear sequence of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. This sequence is determined by the genetic information encoded in DNA.
Why is the sequence of amino acids significant in building proteins?
dna gives codes for 1 of20 amino acids. amino acids form chains and a complete chain is a protein.
Arrangement of nucleotides that determines the sequence of amino acids that will make up the protein?
The arrangement of nucleotides in DNA determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein through the process of transcription and translation. During transcription, RNA is synthesized from DNA, and during translation, the sequence of RNA nucleotides is decoded into a specific sequence of amino acids, forming a protein specified by the DNA sequence.
Total number of amino acids for the DNA sequence is?
There are 20 different amino acids in the DNA sequence
Do genes use amino acids?
No, they code for amino acids (in sequence).
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.
Which hormone is most similar to oxytocin in chemical structure?
Vasopressin is the hormone most similar to oxytocin in chemical structure. Both hormones are nonapeptides, containing nine amino acids, and differ by only two amino acids in their structure.
What refers to translating the sequence of nucleic acids to the sequence of amino acids?
Transcription.
How many amino acids are there in the coding sequence for insulin?
The coding sequence for insulin consists of 110 amino acids.
What influences protein shape that determines protein function?
Amino acid sequence primarily determines a proteins shape, but secondary (alpha helix and beta sheet) and tertiary structures (Hydrogen bonding, other chemical bonding between structures) adds to it.
Coverting mrna into a sequence of amino acids that make up protein is called what?
The process of converting mRNA into a sequence of amino acids is called translation. During translation, mRNA is read by ribosomes to produce a specific sequence of amino acids according to the genetic code. This sequence of amino acids then folds into a protein with a specific function.
What is the order of amino acids in a protein?
The order of amino acids in a protein is determined by the sequence of nucleotides in the gene that codes for that protein. This sequence is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA) and then translated into a specific sequence of amino acids during protein synthesis.
How many amino acids does this DNA sequence code for TCAGCCACCTATGGA?
The DNA sequence TCAGCCACCTATGGA codes for the mRNA sequence UCAGCCACCUAUGGA, which translates to the amino acids Serine-Alanine-Threonine-Tryptophan. Therefore, this DNA sequence codes for 4 amino acids.
How do proteins differ from one another in the number and sequence of amino acids?
the sequence of amino acids in the polypeptide chain differs from protein to protein -xbanditlover
Proteins are polymers formed from?
Proteins are polymers formed from amino acids, which are linked together by peptide bonds. The sequence of amino acids in a protein determines its unique structure and function. Proteins are essential for many biological processes in the body.
