Amino acids are linked through peptide bonds to form proteins. This linkage of amino acids in the formation of proteins accomplished by

Amino acids differ because they are very “R” groups. Is this a result of amino acids ability to form peptide bonds? True or false

An individual bond between a protein and its ligand is weak. Proteins interact strongly with their ligands. Use the figure below to help you explain how both of these statements are true.

A protein is composed of amino acids, which are held together by the covalent bonds known as: phosphodiester bonds ester bonds glycosidic bonds ether bonds peptide bonds

True or false: A polypeptide amino acid sequence ultimately determines the function of a protein. 

One of your patients, a six-year-old girl who suffers from Sickle cell anemia, an inherited blood disorder in which red blood cells are abnormally shaped and fragile, leading to a short supply of red blood cells.  These abnormal cells can also get stuck in small vessels, which prevent blood flow, leading to fatigue, pain and other severe complications. What molecules make up each single peptide? Deoxynucleotides (dNTPs)   Nucleotides (NTPs)   Amino acids   DNA   RNA
