Why pepsin is not active at ph7.0?
the optimal pH distrups the normal instructions of the R group within the protein molecule

Why must protein synthesis be accurate?
Because each amino acid put into the growing polypeptide chain that will become a protein has an R group with different binding characteristics that can change the shape of the protein, thus the action of the protein, if not accurately placed for that particular protein in it's tertiary form.
What protein contains all amino acids?
All amino acids contain a central carbon atom to which are attached a carboxyl group (O-C=O), an amino group (H-N-H), a hydrogen atom and a variant R-group.Each amino acid has a different R-group. For instance, the simplest amino acid, glycine, has an R-group consisting of one hydrogen atom.Diagram in [related links]
What are the component of amino acid?
The 20 amino acids vary in structure by the R-group, otherwise all amino acids are the same in structure. All amino acids have a carboxyl group, an amino group, an R-group, and a hydrogen which are all bonded to a central carbon. It is the R-groups that make the amino acids react in different ways and alter the structure of the protein.
