A protein is made up of monomers that are called What kind of molecules has the instructions for protein synthesis? How does translation form proteins? What protein copies the luciferase gene into messenger RNA? What is the protein (enzyme) called that directly makes more RNA?
Proteins Some of the most diverse group of macromolecules (polymers) Contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen (CHON) Examples include: (1) Antibodies (2) Contractile Proteins (3) Hormones (Insulin) (4) Structural Proteins (5) Enzymes Protein Monomers Proteins are composed of monomers calle...
A monomer is a molecule that serves as the building block of larger molecules called polymers. One example of monomers is nucleotides. Nucleotides are made up of a sugar-phosphate complex and a nitrogenous base. There are two main groups of nit...
(-NH2) of a second amino acid. In this way they can make large, chainlike molecules calledpolymers,which may contain as few as two or as many as 3,000 amino-acid units. If there are more than 10 units in a chain, the chain is called apolypeptide,while a chain with 50 or more ...
Protein drugs are of great importance in maintaining the normal functioning of living organisms. Indeed, they have been instrumental in combating tumors and genetic diseases for decades. Among these pharmaceutical agents, those that target intracellular

biopolymers composed of amino acid building blocks or monomers. There are 20 common amino acids used to synthesize proteins; their structures and names are shown in Figure 1. The amide linkages that join amino acids in proteins are commonly called peptide linkages and amino acid polymers are ...
The third paneldepicts the case of proteins capable of supramolecular assembly such as for instance proteins forming amyloid polymers. In this case, in additionto the energy minimum corresponding to the native state (as in the first panel) there is a second energy well of even lower energy ...
Globular Globular proteins are mobile, generally spherical molecules that play crucial roles in virtually all biological processes. Because they do things rather than just form structures, Globular proteins are also called functional proteins. Functional proteins help provide immunity. 27 ...
What are the monomers and polymers of: carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nuclei acids? What amino acids are hydrophilic? Identify at least three. Which organic molecule below is most closely related to proteins? a. amino acids b. CH_2 chains c. nucleotides d. s...
