- EVOLUTION LINK Each amino acid could potentially exist as one of two possible enantiomers, known as the D-form and the L-form (based on the arrangement of the groups attached to the asymmetric carbon). However, in all organisms, only L-amino acids are found in proteins. What does this suggest about the evolution of proteins?arrow_forwardChemistry Write the complimentary (1) DNA nucleic acid sequence and (2) RNA nucleic acid sequence that would pair with this DNA sequence: ATTAGATCAT. We know that amino acids and proteins can move in a certain direction in an electric field when they are in solutions of appropriate pH. Would you expect lipid molecules to move in an electric field? Do you expect nucleic acids and nucleotides (DNAs and segments of DNAs and RNAs) to move in an electric field? Why or why not?arrow_forwardBiochemists often refer to the major classes of biological molecules as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids.
