BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Your body needs 20 different kinds of amino acids to function correctly. These 20 amino acids combine in different ways to make proteins in your body. Your body makes hundreds of amino acids, but it can’t make nine of the amino acids you need. These are called essential amino acids.

Detailed explanation-2: -The reason there are so many different types of proteins when there are only 20 amino acids is because, the amino acids can sequence themselves in different patterns, creating a different protein. This is kind of like letters in the alphabet forming many words.

Detailed explanation-3: -Roughly 500 amino acids have been identified in nature, but just 20 amino acids make up the proteins found in the human body. Let’s learn about all these 20 amino acids and the types of different amino acids.

Detailed explanation-4: -The 20 naturally occurring amino acids have the ability to make 75, 000 different proteins because each difference in the amino acid sequence is a different protein. One change of an amino acid from the sequence is considered to be a new protein. It is also accepted if the protein has a repeating unit of one amino acid.

Detailed explanation-5: -There are a total of twenty-one amino acids, all of which are responsible for different roles throughout the body. Each amino acid is a large block of proteins, all different shapes, and sizes. In fact, some amino acid strands form together to create larger shaped proteins.
