Question

Is Protein a Polymer of alpha or beta amino acid or it contain both ?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Proteins are polymers made out of amino acids. They're naturally occurring, meaning they're made by animals, plants, bugs, fungi, and other living things - and that includes you! A protein is actually a polyamide (a what?), but more about that later. So, proteins are polymers of amino acids.

Answer 2

Complete Question:

Is protein a polymer of:

(1) Alpha amino acids

(2) Beta amino acids

(3) Both of them.

Answer:

(3) Both of them

Explanation:

A protein polymer is made of smaller amino acid units. There are 20 amino acids in general which contribute to the whole structure in random combinations. The major backbone is generally made of a amino- group and carboxylic acid functional group attached to the alpha carbon atom. In general, the proteins are made up of alpha- , beta- , gamma- amino acids but it is mostly alpha amino acids because the linear structure or the main structure on hydrolysis forms alpha monomers. The proteins then form a alpha helix or beta sheets where alpha helices are the simple linear arrangements and beta sheets bring about a branched confirmations.
