Cysteine has a sulfide group attached to it and so can form very strong Di-sulfide bonds with other cysteine molecules.
can form disufide bonds
Amino acids make-up proteins, and enzymes are specialised proteins, so yes, enzymes do consist of amino acids.
This description applies to all alpha amino acids except for glycine.The amino acids found in cells of organisms are alpha amino acids. The carbon-containing group is a side chain, often symbolized by R.The general formula for amino acids isR-CH(NH2).COOHIn glycine R = H, but in all other amino acids R represents a side chain containing, among other elements, one or more carbon atoms.
It coils and folds.
Even though there are some variants among biochemists, we can consider this: a chain or polymer consisted of 2 to 10 or 12 amino acids is called a peptide. A polymer formed by 12 to 20 or 25 amino acid chain is called a polypeptide. And a polymer of more than 20 or 25 amino acids is called a protein.
ALL amino acids are made up of a carbon center, with a -COOH group, -NH2 group, and a -H attached to it. The only difference between amino acids is the fourth bond to the carbon center, which is the R-Group. The R-group can varies between the 20 different types of amino acids.
Amino acids are the basic unit of proteins. Amino acids linked together by a peptide bond forms a chain of amino acids called a polypeptide. When the amino acids from different parts of the chain interact with each other and form hydrogen bonds, the polypeptide chain takes on a unique shape, forming a protein.
No, every amino acid has its own structural (molecular) formula.
Amino acids make-up proteins, and enzymes are specialised proteins, so yes, enzymes do consist of amino acids.
Yes. It is true that Niacin is unique among the B vitamin in that the body can make it from the amino acid lysine.
The basic unit of a protein are amino acids. Major amino acids include phenylalanine, lysine, and glutamine, among others.
Perhaps other amino acids with hydrophobic side chains as tryptophan has. Tyrosine and alanine, among others.
By their side chains. All amino acids have this structure: HOOC- C - NH2 Attached to that middle C is the side chain. They can have many different properties- They can be aromatic, polar, lipophilic, basic, acidic, Sulfur containing, among others There are 20 amino acids inside the human body, each has a different structure and function, due to its properties.

it is condensation polymerization among amino acids alongwith the removal of water molecules....
They differ because the sequence of the ordered base pairs are different making a unique polypeptide chain in every organism. The amino acids can form lactic acid build up in the chest area because of this, resulting in loss of binancial fluid, brain hemerages, and Torres syndrome (Uncontrollable twitching of the pelvis area)
It coils and folds.
Amino acids have a generalised structure consisting of an amino group (-NH2), a carboxyl group (-COOH), and a side chain represented by the letter "R". The side chain can vary among different amino acids, giving them distinct chemical properties. The central carbon atom (alpha carbon) connects the amino group, carboxyl group, and the side chain, forming the backbone of the amino acid.
