What else can I help you with?
how many amino acids are there in one turn of alpha helix?
3.6 amino acid.
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.)
Is ammino acid a organic acid?
Yes it is as it contains carbon and has a carboxylic acid group. The general formula for an alpha amino acid is H2N-CHR-COOH
What is amino acid formula?
NH2-CRH-COOH The central C is known as the 'alpha' carbon.
Is creatine a compound from amino acids?
No, not really. It is an acid, and it does contain an amino group, but it is not generally considered an amino acid per se. The amino acids we generally speak of are alpha amino acids, and creatine is NOT one of those. When you ask if it is "from amino acids", then the answer would be YES. It is made in the body from several amino acids, such as methionine, glycine and arginine.
Which amino acid has no free alpha amino group?
Proline is the amino acid that does not have a free alpha amino group in its side chain. This is because proline's side chain cyclizes back to the amino group, forming a unique structure that lacks a free alpha amino group.
Which amino acid has its alpha nitrogen in a ring?
Proline has an alpha nitrogen in a ring.
What Alpha amino acid is a diamino mono carboxylic acid?
Lysine is the alpha amino acid that is a diamino mono carboxylic acid, as it contains two amino groups (-NH2) and one carboxylic acid group (-COOH) in its chemical structure.
how many amino acids are there in one turn of alpha helix?
3.6 amino acid.
Why lysine and threonin do not undergo transamination?
L-lysine does not participate in transamination. It is the exception to the general rule that the first step in catabolism of an amino acid is the removal of its alpha- amino group by transamination to form the respective alpha-keto acid
What is the IUPAC name for glycine?
Alpha amino ethanoic acid or 2-aminoethanoic acid
What is a beta-amino acid?
A beta-amino acid is a type of amino acid where the amino group is located on the beta carbon, rather than the alpha carbon, as seen in traditional amino acids. They are less common than alpha-amino acids but possess unique chemical and biological properties. Beta-amino acids can be found in certain natural products and have potential applications in drug development and materials science.
What is nonessinetial amino acids?
Nonessential amino acid is an amino acid which can be synthesized by an organism and thus need not be supplied in the diet.An alpha-amino acid that is required for protein synthesis and can be http://www.answers.com/topic/synthesize by humans

1 molecule of alpha-amino acid reacts with how many molecules of ninhydrin?
Two.
What function groups make up an amino acid?
An amino acid consists of an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen group, and a side group (R group) all attached to a central (alpha) carbon.
Is ammino acid a organic acid?
Yes it is as it contains carbon and has a carboxylic acid group. The general formula for an alpha amino acid is H2N-CHR-COOH
