Q: 

What is amino acid sequence?

A: amino acid sequence is the arrangement of amino acids in a protein. Proteins can be made from 20 different kinds of amino acids, and the structure and function of each protein are determined by the kinds of amino acids used to make it and how they are arranged. This answer is based on source information from the U.S National Institutes of Health.  ...


Q: 

amino acid

A: Hi Jeff-- Well, the word METAPHYSICS corresponds to an amino acid sequence of: methionine.glutamic acid.threonine.alanine.proline.histidine.tyrosine.serine.isoleucine.cysteine.serine The amino acids can each (except methionine) be specified by several codons...Specifically: Methionine (1), AUG Glutamic acid (2) GAA,GAG Threonine (4), ACU,ACC,ACA,ACG Alanine (4), GCU,GCC,GCA,GCG Proline (4), CCU,CCC,CCA,CCG Histidine (2), CAU,CAC Tyrosine (2), UAU,UAC Serine (6), UCU,UCC,UCA,UCG,AGU,AGC Isoleucine (3), AUU,AUC,AUA Cysteine (2), UGU,UGC Serine (6), UCU,UCC,UCA,UCG,AGU,AGC Thus, the possible number of combinations would...
Q: 

If a sequence of condons on a dna strand is aac tag ggt what is the corresponding sequence in a strand of mrna?

A: First of all, it is codons,not condons. MRNA would have uug auc cca. If I am not incorrect, you only use the term codons for MRNA, not in the actual DNA strand. The Anticodons would then be in the TRNA, which codes for the amino acids needed by the cells....
Q: 

Could two humans have some differences in their DNA sequences for insulin yet still make the exact same insulin proteins?

A: yes. amino acids can be coded for by more that one codon. https://www.msu.edu/course/lbs/145/smith/s04/graphics/campbell_17.4.gif...
Q: 

DNA/RNA

A: Dear Zahra; Where ever you have AUG , you will have a start site in this case you have two start sites, which means you will have 2 transcripts 1- AUG ACC AGG AGU 2- AUG ACG AGG AUG ACC AGG AGU the second one is taller than the first one with three amino acids and the second AUG will be considered methionine good luck, I hope this answered your question...
Q: 

protein synthesis

A: Hi Rachael! I"d be happy to explain the steps of transcription and translation...  The process is not all that difficult, but there are so many steps and molecules involved that it can often be difficult to grasp... The first step in transcription is the association of the RNA polymerase II enzyme to the gene--this is achieved through the help of accessory proteins called transcription factors (Txn F"s).  After the Txn F"s have properly anchored RNA polymerase II to the promoter region of the gene (the region that signifies the presence of a gene downstream on the DNA), it begins to move along the strand.  It begins transcription at a site called the +1 region--the polymerase moves along the coding sequence adding ribonucleotides (C for G, G for C, A for T, and U for...
Q: 

Please help with this problem

A: Hi Julian-- I don"t understand question 1--could you please clarify? Regarding question 2: Trp -> Lys   Tryptophan is encoded by the codon UGG.   Lysine is encoded by codons AAA and AAG. So, you must change at least two amino nucleotides...  Changing the "UG" sequence in tryptophan and keeping the terminal "G" in lysine would facilitate this change. Tyr -> Gly Your question stated "Try", but I assume this was meant to say "Tyr".     Tyrosine is encoded by UAU and UAC.     Glycine is encoded by GGU, GGC, GGA, and GGG. So, you must again change the proximal two amino acids in tyrosine and leave either the "U" or the "C"--this...
Q: 

Can You Define The Structure Of Antibodies Peresnt In The Human Body?

A: Structure of Antibodies An antibody molecule consists of four polypeptide chains- two identical light chains, and two identical heavy chains. These chains are linked by disulfide (S-S-) bridges. Each chain has two types of amino acid sequences i.e., variable and constant. Variable amino acid sequences in the light chains and upper regions of the heavy chains determine which antigen will bind to that particular antibody. Constant amino acid sequences are the same for all the antibodies in one class. Types There are two types of immune systems Cell mediated response The...
Q: 

Can you suddenly develop and an allergy to alcohol?

A: Maybe you''ve been drinking too much, give your stomach a break. Stop drinking for a while like 2 weeks or more and stop eating outside. It could be your stomach is irritated and need some time to get better. And do go to the doctor. Never heard of allergy to alcohol but it could be allergy to something in the drink like yeast (in beers). Talk to your doctor to check your stomach first and maybe an allergist. Are you taking Topomax, by any chance? When I was taking Topomax (medicine that can be prescribed for migraine prevention, seizures, or bipolar disorder) my tastes changed drastically. I don''t drink wine, but I love beer and suddenly overnight, beer tasted completely different and I could not drink more than a small amount. I developed such an aversion to garlic that I thought I had...
