• Functions of Amino Acids Throughout the Body

  There are around 20 major amino acids that are important to the body as well as hundreds of minor amino acids. These amino acids keep the body healthy, and deficiency in just a single amino acid can lead to problems.

• Amino Acids: Purpose, Toxicity, Supplements

  Furthermore, excess amino acids in the form of protein result in weight gain, since the body can only process a limited amount of protein daily. The body manufactures nonessential amino acids and conditional amino acids.

• Description of the Chromatography Technique

  As the amino acids are transported through the stationary phase, the smaller, lighter amino acids will travel faster than the heavier bulkier amino acids.

• Purpose of Non-Essential Amino-Acid Supplements

  601358 Purpose of Non-Essential Amino-Acid Supplements There are many protein supplements that contain non-essential amino acids. What is the purpose of that since we can make those proteins? Amino acids are the building blocks of protein.

• Amino Acids and Polarity

  This solution explains how to determine: 1) If amino acids have polar side chains. 2) If amino acids have side chains that can form hydrogen bonds. 3) If amino acids can form a salt bridge.

• Amino Acids: Essential, Non-Essential & Conditionally Essential

  38454 Amino Acids: Essential, Non-Essential & Conditionally Essential Explain the difference between amino acids that are essential, non-essential and conditionally essential.

• Citric acid cycle and urea cycle

  The 2 nonstandard amino acids in the urea cycle are ornithine and citrulline. The expert examines citric acid and urea cycle amino acids.

• Electrophoresis with arginine, alanine, & aspartic acid

  Negative amino acids have carboxyl groups on their side chains, while positive amino acids typically have amino groups on their side chains. It is common practice to place the mixture of amino acids in the middle of the gel.

• genetic code

  acids codes for 64 amino acids.

• Amino Acids and Proteins

  A protein is a polymer made up of amino acids. If you think in analogies, a protein would be like a train and the amino acids would be the individual boxcars. In other words, amino acids are the building block of proteins.
