Amino acids are the building blocks that make up all proteins, polypeptides and peptides. Each amino acid consists of a central carbon, known as the α-carbon, to which an amino group (-NH2), an acidic carboxyl group (-COOH) and an organic side chain
In alpha-amino acids (α-amino acids), the two functional groups are bound to a central carbon atom known as the alpha carbon. At the alpha carbon is also a hydrogen atom and a variable side chain, often referred to as the R-group, which gives each amino acid its unique chemical ...
Protein synthesis occurs in the cytoplasm, where the mRNA, along with ribosomes and transfer RNA (tRNA), translates the transcribed genetic code into chains of amino acids. Translation involves reading each RNA codon and adding the corresponding amino acid to the chain of amino acids carried by ...

In the ribosome amino acids are brought in by tRNAs in the correct order and added to the growing polypeptide chain.Answer and Explanation: The amino acid chart is a diagram which shows the three letter codes for each amino acid in the standard genetic code. There are 64 possible codons.....
Twenty amino acids are commonly utilized in the synthesis of proteins. These amino acids differ in the chemical properties of their R groups (also called side chains). What properties do each of the following R groups have? Note that an R group may displa ...

Preferably, the isolated amino acids are converted to their N-acylamino acid n-alkyl esters. The acyl group of such esters may be formyl, acetyl, propionyl, butyryl and the like. The alkyl group of such esters will normally be methyl, ethyl, propyl or butyl. Most preferably, the acyl grou...
