Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Biological functions that each protein performs are to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Many amino acids are linked together through amide bonds to form a biologically large molecule known to be proteins.
Amino acid had both amino functional group and carboxyl functional group in a molecule.
Amino functional group is

- In your own words, what is Biochemistry? and why is it important?arrow_forwardWhy would it be impossible to live if proteins were not to exist in the body?arrow_forwardThe protein myoglobin, consisting of a single polypeptide with 154 amino acids (in human skeletal muscle cells), contains how many peptide bonds? 152 peptide bonds 153 peptide bonds 154 peptide bonds 155 peptide bonds 156 peptide bondsarrow_forward
- If you knew everything about the properties of the 20 common (proteinous) amino acids, would you be able to predict the properties of a protein (or large peptide) made from them?arrow_forwardWhy do you suppose only l-amino acids and not a random mixture of the l- and d-forms of each amino acid are used to make proteins?arrow_forwardWhat kind of biological molecule is this?arrow_forward
- Proteins are polymers of amino acids that fold in which three dimensions?arrow_forwardWhat types of functions are glycoproteins associated with? List at least three and give a brief example of each.arrow_forwardHow many different molecules composed of (a) two, (b) three, and (c) four amino acids, linked together by peptide bonds, can be made from the set of 20 naturally occurring amino acids?arrow_forward
