Assignment:
Bacteria and fungi (together with insects) play an important role in natural communities because they help break down material from dead plants into nutrients that benefit living plants. But non-native bacterial, viral and fungal pathogens can kill entire populations of plant species that have no natural resistance.
1. How can the binding of two amino acids into a peptide formation be described?
2. What is the bond between two amino acids called?
3. Are the -R groups bound to the central carbon atoms involved in the bond between amino acids?
4. Are the -H groups bound to the central carbon atoms involved in the peptide bond?
5. Are the amine and the carboxyl groups attached to central carbon atoms involved in the bond between amino acids?
6. Does the chemical reaction to bind amino acids incorporate or release atoms? What are the chemical entities incorporated or released during this reaction?
7. Can the same amount of amino acids create different proteins?
8. Are proteins with the same number of their respective amino acid components necessarily identical?
9. What is the essential condition for one protein molecule to be identical to another protein molecule?
