Q: Can anyone help me describe the relationship between amino acid molecules and a protein molecule ?
Also ..What are four chemical elements present in amino acids ?

Please help me if you know these. Not long answers just short will do. PLEASE HELP ! I fergot my book at school and she threatened to lower my 92 to a 85 if i dont turn this on by tomorrow !
Hmm, well i know that the four chemical elements in Amino acids are Hydrogen, Oxygen, Carbon, Nitrogen

I know that Protein molecules have Hyrdrogen, Oxygen and Carbon elements..but the relationship between them I'm not sure..

i think that In both amino acids and proteins one end of each molecule is a carboxyl end which is COOH, and the other end is just an -OH ending..

To combine Protein molecules to other protein molecules, and to combine amino acids to other amino acids, you have to take a Hydrogen element off one end and a Oxygen and Hyrdrogen off the other end to put them together, and thats called Dehydration synthesis

I'm learning about this now, i'm tyring to think of what all i can remember about it, if i remember more i'll edit my answer for you good luck!

THANKS SO MUCH !
