What else can I help you with?
Do all proteins consist of one or more polypeptide chains?
Yes, all proteins are composed of one or more polypeptide chains, which are formed from amino acids. Proteins can be made up of a single polypeptide chain or multiple chains that interact with each other to form a functional protein molecule.
Do all proteins start with methionine?
Proteins have undergone post-transcriptional modifications, thus may not start with methionine after it has been modified.
What do all food chains start with?
All food chains start with producers, such as plants or algae, that are able to create their own food through photosynthesis. These producers are the base of the food chain and support all other organisms in the ecosystem.
Where is tyrosine found?
Tyrosine is an amino acid that is found all over the body in its polypeptide chains and proteins. It also serves as the precursor for the catecholamine neurotransmitter dopamine in the nervous system.
Do all polypeptides begin with amino acid coded for by the start codon?
Yes, all polypeptides begin with an amino acid specified by the start codon, which is typically AUG, coding for methionine in eukaryotes. This start codon signals the ribosome to initiate translation and sets the reading frame for the subsequent codons. In some cases, the initial methionine may be removed post-translationally, but the translation process always begins with the start codon.

Proteins with more than one polypeptide chain have what structure?
Proteins with more than one polypeptide chain have a quaternary structure. This structure is formed by the assembly of multiple polypeptide chains into a functional protein complex. The interactions between the individual polypeptide chains contribute to the overall structure and function of the protein.
What amino acid does every newly translated protein begin with?
In eukaryotes, every newly-translated protein begins with the amino acid methionine (Met, M). This is because the start codon that signals the beginning of translation is AUG, which is also the codon for methionine - so the correlation is obligatory. The methionine may be removed during post-translational processing/modification.In prokaryotes, however, every newly-translated protein begins with formylmethionine (fMet), a methionine derivative with a formyl group added to the amino group. This difference can be used as a target for antibiotic therapy. As with methionine, the formylmethionine can be removed after translation.
The first amino acid inserted into a new polypeptide chain in eukaryotic cells is always?
The first codon is usually the start codon AUG. AUG is normally the only codon for the amino acid methionine. There are exceptions. The E.coli lactose operon contains four genes: lacI, lacZ, lacY and lacA. The amino acid sequence for all four of these genes begins with methionine. Only lacZ and lacY begin with AUG. LacI begins with GUG, which normally codes for valine. LacA begins with UUG, which normally codes for leucine. Still, the starting amino acid seems always to be methionine. Perhaps the ribosome is primed with methionine transfer RNA when it begins its translation of the messenger RNA. However, the site of translation initiation is not always at an AUG start codon. For the DNA and amino acid sequences of the E.coli lactose operon see http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/146575?report=graph.
What is the starting amino acid for the beta globin protein?
Methionine. Protein translation starts at the start codon (AUG) which also codes for methionine. It means all proteins start with methionine at their N-terminus, although it's usually removed by post-translational modification.
Why polypeptide chains are always called as protein but Proteins are not always polypeptide chains?
Peptides (from the Greek πεπτίδια, "small digestibles") are short polymers formed from the linking, in a defined order, of α-amino acids. The link between one amino acid residue and the next is known as an amide bond or a peptide bond. Proteins are polypeptide molecules (or consist of multiple polypeptide subunits). The distinction is that peptides are short and polypeptides/proteins are long.
What is the componant of many lipids?
All lipids are composed of amino acids which make up polypeptide chains. Animals must have at least a small amount of lipids to survive.
What do all food chains start with?
All food chains start with producers, such as plants or algae, that are able to create their own food through photosynthesis. These producers are the base of the food chain and support all other organisms in the ecosystem.
Does science have anything to do with cosmetology?
Yes because you need to know how the hair and skin is made up, and all the different parts, how disulphide bonds are formed along with polypeptide chains.
