Chapter 13, Problem 7CONQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The mRNA's different sequences, which can encode a peptide having the sequence proline-glycine-methionine-serine.
Introduction:
Peptides are the chains of monomers of amino acids, which are short and linked together with the help of peptide bonds. They are useful for carrying out an important biological function in the body. Peptides provide anti-aging benefits for skin care.
