Reactions As amino acids have both a primary amine group and a primary carboxyl group, these chemicals can undergo most of the reactions associated with these functional groups. These include nucleophilic addition, amide bond formation and imine formation for the amine group and esterification, amide bond formation and decarboxylation for the carboxylic acid group. The multiple side chains of amino acids can also undergo chemical reactions. The types of these reactions are determined by the groups on these side chains and are discussed in the articles dealing with each specific type of amino acid. The condensation of two amino acids to form a peptide bond.
: For more details on this topic, see Peptide bond. As both the amine and carboxylic acid groups of amino acids can react to form amide bonds, one amino acid molecule can react with another and become joined through an amide linkage. This polymerization of amino acids is what creates proteins. This condensation reaction yields the newly formed peptide bond and a molecule of water. In cells, this reaction does not occur directly; instead the amino acid is first activated by attachment to a transfer RNA molecule through an ester bond. This aminoacyl-tRNA is produced in an ATP-dependent reaction carried out by an aminoacyl tRNA synthetase.[11] This aminoacyl-tRNA is then a substrate for the ribosome, which catalyzes the attack of the amino group of the elongating protein chain on the ester bond.[12] As a result of this mechanism, all proteins made by ribosomes are synthesized starting at their N-terminus and moving towards their C-terminus. However, not all peptide bonds are formed in this way. In a few cases, peptides are synthesized by specific enzymes. For example, the tripeptide glutathione is an essential part of the defenses of cells against oxidative stress. This peptide is synthesized in two steps from free amino acids.[13] In the first step gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase condenses cysteine and glutamic acid through a peptide bond formed between the side-chain carboxyl of the glutamate (the gamma carbon of this side chain) and the amino group of the cysteine. This dipeptide is then condensed with glycine by glutathione synthetase to form glutathione.[14] In chemistry, peptides are synthesized by a variety of reactions. One of the most used in solid-phase peptide synthesis, which uses the aromatic oxime derivatives of amino acids as activated units. These are added in sequence onto the growing peptide chain, which is attached to a solid resin support.[15 Reactions As amino acids have both a primary amine group and a primary carboxyl group, these chemicals can undergo most of the reactions associated with these functional groups.

Amino acids become proteins through the process of dehydration synthese. On other hands, proteins are broken down into amino acids through the process of hydrolysis.
Def. of Hydrolysis: chemical decompostition in which a compound is split tinot other compounds by reacting to water
Def. of Dehydration Synthesis: taking water out of a molecule to build it up
Proteins are the tertiary/quaternary structure of amino acids.
Primary structure: amino acid sequence
secondary structure: hydrogen bonds occur between the animo groups
tertiary structure: r-groups and polypeptides bond and create a 3D shape.
quaternary structure:multiple tertiary structures together.
It meets up with a ribosome, this ribosome does its duty and then you have a protien.
They covalenty bond to the central carbon atom (aka Alpha Carbon)
The ordered amino acids are then linked by enzymatic action to form a protein. The link between amino acids is as a peptide bond.
Amino acids.
Amino acids are bonded together with peptide bonds in protein synthesis at the ribosomes.
amino acids form protein.
Proteins are polymers made up of amino acids.
A protein is a long chain of amino acids. That are linked by dehydration synthesis to form peptide bonds.
Amino acids are made by reading the code in DNA. They are combined with other amino acids to form a protein.
DNA molecules form amino acids. Amino acids are bonded together by peptide bonds. This chain on amino acids and peptide bonds form the structure for protein.
Amino acids.
Proteins are made of Amino Acids
Yes. Enzymes are made of protein basically and protein is made from many amino acids.
Amino acids are bonded together with peptide bonds in protein synthesis at the ribosomes.
Amino acids form peptide bonds.
Answer 1The 20 amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.Answer 2You might consider it a protein because it makes up a protein, but it is not actually a protein.
amino acids form protein.
Proteins are polymers made up of amino acids.
I'm guessing you are asking about amino acids. Amino acids form proteins.
form a protein chain.
