Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How many amino acids exist? How many of them are present in almost all proteins?
A
300, 20.
B
200, 30.
C
300, 10
D
200, 20
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The 20 amino acids found in proteins. Both three-letter and one-letter abbreviations are listed. As shown, there are equal numbers of polar and nonpolar side chains.

Detailed explanation-2: -More than 300 amino acids are listed in the Practical Handbook of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, but only the twenty amino acids in the table below are used to synthesize proteins. Most of these amino acids differ only in the nature of the R substituent.

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 to 22 amino acids that comprise proteins include: Alanine. Arginine. Asparagine.

Detailed explanation-5: -The human body uses just 21 amino acids to make all the proteins it needs to function and grow. Because amino acids can be arranged in many different combinations, it’s possible for your body to make thousands of different kinds of proteins from just the same 21 amino acids.
