Usually a single letter code, or a 3 letter code. I've attached a link with both.

What is the technique used to alter one amino acid in protein?

Site-directed mutagenesis is the technique used to alter a specific amino acid in a protein. This technique allows for the precise change of one nucleotide in the gene sequence encoding the protein, resulting in the desired amino acid substitution.


How do you trnsform d-amino acid to l-amino acid?

Enzymes called D-amino acid oxidases can be used to convert D-amino acids to their L-forms by catalyzing the oxidation of the D-amino acid. Another method involves using chemical catalysts or reagents to convert the D-amino acid to a derivative that can then be transformed into the L-form. Both methods are used in research settings for specific applications.


How many common amino acids are formed and used by living organisms?

There are 20 common amino acids that are used by living organisms to build proteins. These amino acids have specific structures and properties that allow them to play various roles in biological processes.


What is the name of the machine that makes small sections of amino acid chains?

The machine is called a peptide synthesizer. It is used to assemble amino acids into specific sequences to create peptides.


What characteristics of a molecule make it an amino acid?

Being both an amine and an acid, of course.Generally the term is used mainly for a specific type of amino acids... alpha-amino carboxylic acids. However, taurine is also called an amino acid, despite the fact that it's a sulfonic acid rather than a carboxylic acid.(alpha-amino means the amine group is attached to the first carbon after the carboxylic acid carbon itself. In taurine, the amine group is attached to the second carbon after the sulfonic acid group.)

What Is used to represent a specific amino acid in the process of translation?

A codon.


How can the amino acid codon wheel be used to determine the specific amino acid sequence in a given DNA sequence?

The amino acid codon wheel can be used to determine the specific amino acid sequence in a given DNA sequence by matching the DNA codons with their corresponding amino acids on the wheel. Each set of three DNA nucleotides (codon) codes for a specific amino acid, and by using the codon wheel, one can easily identify the amino acid sequence encoded by the DNA.


What is the specific term that refers to an amino acid whose lack inhibits protein synthesis?

The amino acid synthesis inhibitors is a term used to describe amino acids that lack inhibits protein synthesis. These inhibitors include the sulfonylureas, imidazolinones, and amino acid derivatives herbicide families

Can amino acid be used more than once in protein?

Yes, an amino acid can be used multiple times in the sequence of a protein. Proteins are made up of 20 different amino acids, which can be repeated in various combinations and lengths to form the unique sequence of each protein.


What are codon and anticodons?

Codon = 3 amino acid sequence found on mRNA. Anti codon = 3 amino acid sequence found on tRNA.The codons are for the traslation of mRNa to an amino acid sequence by using ribosomes.
