Q
how to combine amino acids
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Combining amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, occurs through a process known as dehydration synthesis or a condensation reaction. This chemical reaction involves the joining of the amino (-NH2) group of one amino acid to the carboxyl (-COOH) group of another, releasing a molecule of water (H2O) in the process. This bond formed is called a peptide bond, and the resulting molecule is a dipeptide. This reaction can continue, adding more amino acids to form long chains or polypeptides, which then fold into specific three-dimensional structures to become functional proteins. The sequence and the nature of the amino acids in the chain determine the protein's properties and functions. In laboratory or industrial settings, synthesizing specific proteins or peptides involves using techniques like solid-phase peptide synthesis, meticulously planning the sequence to ensure correct folding and function.
