In the adenoviruses and the φ29 family of bacteriophages, the 3 ' OH group is provided by the side chain of an amino acid of the genome attached protein ( the terminal protein ) to which nucleotides are added by the DNA polymerase to form a new strand.

They catalyse the hydrolysis of interior peptide bonds in peptide chains, as opposed to exopeptidases ( another class of enzymes, that catalyse the hydrolysis of terminal peptide bonds, liberating one free amino acid at a time ).

Trypsins are considered endopeptidases, i. e., the cleavage occurs within the polypeptide chain rather than at the terminal amino acids located at the ends of polypeptides.

Huntington ’ s disease occurs when the cytosolic protein Huntingtin ( Htt ) has an additional 35 glutamine residues added to its amino terminal region.

Protein kinases are a group of enzymes that possess a catalytic subunit that transfers the gamma ( terminal ) phosphate from nucleotide triphosphates ( often ATP ) to one or more amino acid residues in a protein substrate side chain, resulting in a conformational change affecting protein function.

β-Lactam antibiotics are analogues of-alanyl -- alanine — the terminal amino acid residues on the precursor NAM / NAG-peptide subunits of the nascent peptidoglycan layer.

Some of them can detach the terminal amino acids from the protein chain ( exopeptidases, such as aminopeptidases, carboxypeptidase A ); the others attack internal peptide bonds of a protein ( endopeptidases, such as trypsin, chymotrypsin, pepsin, papain, elastase ).

Taurine is conjugated via its amino terminal group with chenodeoxycholic acid and cholic acid to form the bile salts sodium taurochenodeoxycholate and sodium taurocholate.

* Ricin B Chain ( RTB ) is a lectin composed of 262 amino acids that is able to bind terminal galactose residues on cell surfaces .< ref > RTB form a bilobal, barbell-like structure lacking alpha-helices or beta-sheets where individual lobes contain three subdomains.

The ability of ricin to enter the cytosol depends on hydrogen bonding interactions between RTB amino acid residues and complex carbohydrates on the surface of eukaryotic cells containing either terminal N-acetyl galactosamine or beta-1, 4-linked galactose residues.

Potential points of attachment include the terminal amino group of the protein backbone and the side chain of cysteine residues.

These variants are typically aggregates, deamidation products, glycosylation variants, oxidized amino acid side chains, as well as amino and carboxyl terminal amino acid additions.

The AMPA receptor bound to a glutamate antagonist showing the amino terminal, ligand binding, and transmembrane domain, PDB 3KG2

The protein is rich in basic amino acids and contains a highly basic amino terminal domain.

The rhodopsin / T < sub > βγ </ sub > binding domain contains the amino and carboxyl terminal of the T < sub > α </ sub >.

The amino terminal is the site of interaction for rhodopsin while the carboxyl terminal is that for T < sub > βγ </ sub > binding.

The amino terminal might be anchored or in close proximity to the carboxyl terminal for activation of the transducin molecule by rhodopsin.

# The acceptor stem is a 7-base pair ( bp ) stem made by the base pairing of the 5 '- terminal nucleotide with the 3 '- terminal nucleotide ( which contains the CCA 3 '- terminal group used to attach the amino acid ).

Amino acids (,, or ) are biologically important molecules made from amine (- NH < sub > 2 </ sub >) and carboxylic acid (- COOH ) functional groups, along with a side-chain specific to each amino acid.

It lacks the NH < sub > 2 </ sub > group because of the cyclization of the side-chain and is known as an imino acid ; it falls under the category of special structured amino acids .</ ref > where R is an organic substituent known as a " side-chain "); often the term " amino acid " is used to refer specifically to these.

One is an amino group, — NH < sub > 2 </ sub >, and one is a carboxylic acid group, — COOH ( although these exist as — NH < sub > 3 </ sub >< sup >+</ sup > and — COO < sup >−</ sup > under physiologic conditions ).

The cycle converts two amino groups, one from NH < sub > 4 </ sub >< sup >+</ sup > and one from Asp, and a carbon atom from HCO < sub > 3 </ sub >< sup >−</ sup >, to the relatively nontoxic excretion product urea at the cost of four " high-energy " phosphate bonds ( 3 ATP hydrolyzed to 2 ADP and one AMP ).

Each amino acid in the chain is polar, i. e. it has separated positive and negative charged regions with a free C = O group, which can act as hydrogen bond acceptor and an NH group, which can act as hydrogen bond donor.

; secondary structure: refers to the interactions that occur between the C, O, and NH groups on amino acids in a polypeptide chain to form α-helices, β-sheets, turns, loops, and other forms, and that facilitate the folding into a three-dimensional structure.

Imino acids are related to amino acids, which contain both amino (- NH < sub > 2 </ sub >) and carboxyl (- COOH ) functional groups, differing in the bonding to the nitrogen.

One is an amino acid, which contains an amine ( NH < sub > 2 </ sub >) group.

The N-terminus ( also known as the amino-terminus, NH < sub > 2 </ sub >- terminus, N-terminal end or amine-terminus ) refers to the start of a protein or polypeptide terminated by an amino acid with a free amine group (- NH < sub > 2 </ sub >).

Counting of residues always starts at the N-terminal end ( NH < sub > 2 </ sub >- group ), which is the end where the amino group is not involved in a peptide bond.

Sites on drugs where conjugation reactions occur include carboxyl (- COOH ), hydroxyl (- OH ), amino ( NH < sub > 2 </ sub >), and sulfhydryl (- SH ) groups.

A primary amino group (- NH < sub > 2 </ sub >) often functions as the starting point for two polymeric chains, especially in the case of polyether polyols.

* The amino ( NH < sub > 2 </ sub >) group of the aminoacyl-tRNA, which contains the new amino acid, attacks the ester linkage of peptidyl-tRNA ( contained within the P site ), which contains the last amino acid of the growing chain, forming a new peptide bond.

The N-terminus ( also known as the amino-terminus, NH < sub > 2 </ sub >- terminus, N-terminal end or amine-terminus ) refers to the start of a protein or polypeptide terminated by an amino acid with a free amine group (- NH < sub > 2 </ sub >).

The difference between these three isomers is the position where the methyl group (- CH < sub > 3 </ sub >) is bonded to the ring relative to the amino functional group (- NH < sub > 2 </ sub >); see illustration of the chemical structures below.

The amino ( NH < sub > 2 </ sub >) group and the keto (= O ) group are exchanged.

An amino acid contains an amine ( NH < sub > 2 </ sub >) group.

These amino acids contain an aromatic ring in their sidechain that fits into a ' hydrophobic pocket ' ( the S < sub > 1 </ sub > position ) of the enzyme.

With four different nucleotides, a code of 2 nucleotides would allow for only a maximum of 4 < sup > 2 </ sup > or 16 amino acids.

A code of 3 nucleotides could code for a maximum of 4 < sup > 3 </ sup > or 64 amino acids.

If amino acids were randomly assigned to triplet codons, then there would be 1. 5 x 10 < sup > 84 </ sup > possible genetic codes to choose from.

The main action of these aldehyde fixatives is to cross-link amino groups in proteins through the formation of CH < sub > 2 </ sub > ( methylene ) linkage, in the case of formaldehyde, or by a C5H10 cross-links in the case of glutaraldehyde.

However, Bada noted that in current models of early Earth conditions, carbon dioxide and nitrogen ( N < sub > 2 </ sub >) create nitrites, which destroy amino acids as fast as they form.

Under most circumstances, only PrP molecules with an identical amino acid sequence to the infectious PrP < sup > Sc </ sup > are incorporated into the growing fiber.

Second, densities of elements sufficient for the formation of more complex molecules necessary to life ( such as amino acids ) only occur in molecular dust clouds ( 10 < sup > 9 </ sup >– 10 < sup > 12 </ sup > particles / m < sup > 3 </ sup >), and ( following their collapse ) in solar systems.

A Peptide bond ( amide bond ) is a covalent chemical bond formed between two molecules when the carboxyl group of one molecule reacts with the amino group of the other molecule, causing the release of a molecule of water ( H < sub > 2 </ sub > O ), hence the process is a dehydration synthesis reaction
