BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Proteins. Proteins are molecules that have many different functions in living things. All proteins are made of monomers called amino acids (Figure below) that connect together like beads on a necklace (Figure below). There are only 20 common amino acids needed to build proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -an organic molecule, smaller than protein, that contains nitrogen. a macromolecule that makes up an enzyme. an element found in protein that is not typically found in carbohydrates or lipids.

Detailed explanation-3: -A small molecule (or metabolite) is a low molecular weight organic compound, typically involved in a biological process as a substrate or product. Metabolomics usually studies small molecules within a mass range of 50 – 1500 daltons (Da).

Detailed explanation-4: -Nitrogen forms many organic compounds including amines, amino acids, amino alcohols, amides and lactams, nitro compounds, imines, nitriles, diazonium salts, hydrazides, carbazides, oximes, and heterocyclic compounds such as imidazole, triazole, and tetrazole.
