What is an example of a degenerate amino acid? And how does this differ from nonoverlapping, universal, and unambiguous amino acids? Please help I'm so confused! *ASAP
What is an example of a degenerate amino acid? And how does this differ from nonoverlapping,...
The genetic code is considered degenerate because most amino acids are encoded by at least two different codons. Some researchers have hypothesized that during evolution the genetic code has been optimized for its intended use in different organisms. Reseachers can study this by examining the relationship between the frequency with which an amino acid appears in all the proteins in an organism and the total number of codons for an amino acid. An optimized organism would use amino acids in...
How does fatty acid oxidation contribute to gluconeogenesis? Under what conditions do amino acids get converted to glucose?
Chapter 15: 1. What is the significance of the fact that many synonymous codons differ in the third nucleotide position? 2. Define the following terms as they apply to the genetic code: a. Reading frame b. Overlapping code C. Nonoverlapping code d. Initiation codon e. Termination codon f. Sense codon 8. Nonsense codon h. Universal code i. Nonuniversal code 3. What role do the initiation factors play in protein synthesis? 4. Compare and contrast the process of protein synthesis in...
Explain how the pKa of an amino acid can differ depending on its chemical environment, either aqueous or hydrophobic. Consider both and acidic and basic amino acid in your explanation. (one page).
In what way is the structure of the amino acid proline different from that of the other common amino acids?
How does oxidation of a saturated fatty acid differ from the oxidation of an unsaturated fatty acid?
How does International Law differ from Domestic Laws? What barriers do you think could prevent a universal legal system?
need help with 7 & 8 please also a part D 7. How does the structure of estrogen differ from that of progesterone? Explain by highlighting the differences in respective structures. (10 pts) 8. a) Draw the structures of two amino acids that contain sulfur. (4 pts) I b) For the amino acids in 8a) give a three-letter and one-letter abbreviation. (4 pts) c) Describe each of the amino acids in 8a) as polar or non-polar. (4 pts) d) Are...
Based upon how the titration of the amino acid was performed, and the data that you collected from the titration, calculate the concentration of the amino acid that was titrated. NOTE: you cannot base your calculation upon the assumption that the amino acids were fully protonated at the start of the titration. When you calculate the volume of titrant used you cannot start at 0.0mL. This is because the amino acids solutions are prepared by the addition of concentrated HCl...
