If I read your question correctly the answer is DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid. The reason being that the arrangement of bases in the DNA code for the amino acids that make up the proteins. A section of DNA starting with a "start code" of bases can be read in sets of three. Each set of three bases (e.g. TGG or ATG or ACT) codes individually for an amino acid, much like a recipe. The DNA read from one end to the other is a list of bases that, when connected up, form a protein or proteins.
What else can I help you with?
What type of building blocks would you use to construct a protein?
Amino acids
How many bonds present in protein structure?
Proteins are made up of amino acids, which are linked together by peptide bonds. The number of bonds in a protein structure can vary depending on the amino acid sequence and the folding pattern of the protein. However, the main type of bond in a protein structure is the peptide bond.
Explain how one protein differs from another protein?
its really not possible at all and is just a myth if you dont believe me then you need help ---------------------------------------------TheTerminator-----------------------------------------
What type of molecule does DNA carry the intructions to produce?
DNA carries the instructions to produce proteins. These proteins are essential for various cellular functions and processes, as they play key roles in structure, function, and regulation within cells. The specific sequence of nucleotides in DNA determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein, ultimately dictating its structure and function.
What type of molecule is a histone?
Protein Molecules. "Dna coild around protein molecules called histones."
What determines the type of protein that is produced in protein synthesis?
This could be answered a few ways, but at the most specific, it is the codons that are translated via tRNA which make a protein. Each codon, represented by 3 nucleotides, "codes" for an amino acid. A string of amino acids make a protein, thus the nucleotides in the codons determines the product. To get to this point, requires transcription from DNA into mRNA and then mRNA is translated into the amino acids, so you could say that DNA itself determines the protein produced; however, it is actually the codons in the mRNA that are used to make the protein. The section of DNA that is transcribed is called a gene, so you could also say that it is the gene that determines what is produced.
Why the addition of an extra base in a DNA sequence would change the message carried by a DNA molecule?
It could change the type of protein that would be produced hence change the structure and function of that protein.
What determines the type of crystal structure in a mineral?
The internal arrangement of atoms.
Is a steroid a type of protein?
No, a steroid is not a type of protein. Steroids are a type of organic compound that have a different structure and function compared to proteins.
Is an antibody a type of protein?
Yes, an antibody is a type of protein that is produced by the immune system to help fight off infections and diseases.
What determines the type of protein that is formed?
The DNA code ... it assigns each amino acid in the sequence.
What type of building blocks would you use to construct a protein?
Amino acids
Is antibodies a protein?
Yes, antibodies are a type of protein produced by the immune system to help fight off infections and diseases.
What does the shape of a protein resembles?
Proteins are "folded" molecules there is not one shape, each protein is different. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A protein has a primary structure which folds into a secondary structure (alpha helix or B-sheet) and then has a tertiary structure (its 3D fold). Many proteins can complex together to create a quaternary structure. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Depending on the type of protein and the environment that the protein is in determines its "shape". The hydrophobic effect plays a huge role in this. Membrane proteins are in a hydrophobic environment, and cytosolic proteins are in a hydrophilic environment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you are referring to an amino acid which is a polypeptide monomer, then amino acids have a tetrahedral shape around the alpha carbon. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- also known as a messy group of coat hangers
Why is an enzyme not a type of protein?
Actually it is. It is a polypeptide structure that has been specialized to be a catalyst.
What is the connection between amino acids and protein?
Amino acids are the basic structures of protein. Each type of protein depends on the arrangement of the amino acids. One inconsequential change can completely change the type of protein it is.
How many bonds present in protein structure?
Proteins are made up of amino acids, which are linked together by peptide bonds. The number of bonds in a protein structure can vary depending on the amino acid sequence and the folding pattern of the protein. However, the main type of bond in a protein structure is the peptide bond.
