Amino acids join by forming peptide bonds, a link that connects one amino acid's amino group with the carboxyl group of another amino acid. When amino acids join through peptide bonds, they form proteins. These proteins then carry out numerous functions in the structure and operation of cells...
The chemical properties of the ester (table I) warranted the expectation that the phthalimidomethyl group would be useful for the protection of carboxyl functions in peptide syntheses. Several amino acid esters of phthalimidomethanol (table III) have been prepared by simple methods. Some of ...
However, some studies have indicated possible involvement of amino acid transport systems, including LAT1, in the transport of compounds lacking the free carboxyl group across cell membranes (Jain et al., 2004, Patel et al., 2013, Patel et al., 2014). For example, in two recent articles,...
Insidethese proteins, there are just amino acids with complex structures with a central carbon atom attached to an amino group, a hydrogen atom, and a carboxyl group attached further to an R group side chain. The shape, functionality, and properties are dictated by the sequence of the amino ...
The synthesis of proteins, which is simply the addition of amino acids end to end, involves the linkage of the amino group of one amino acid to the carboxyl group of the next. This is called apeptide linkage, and it results in the loss of a water molecule. ...
How do amino acids attach to tRNA? What process is used to link amino acids together? Name the bonds found between amino acids in a polypeptide chain. Amino acids in a protein chain are attached by bonds called: a. amino bonds b. carboxyl bonds c. peptide bonds d. prote...
Each amino acid contain the same basic structure of a protonated amino group, an alpha carbon, and a de-protonated carboxyl group (at physiological pH). Each amino acid differs from one another in the structure of the R-group. Each amino acid will have a different...
The NRPS domain is known to vary with GPAs and have diverse ORFs module arrangements. The NRPS assembly line contains multimodular enzyme machinery which assembles the precursor amino acids in a specific manner. This NRPS assembly line module encodes various domains involved in the condensation, ...
