Amino acids are basic building blocks of proteins, peptides, and enzymes. They can also be broken down for their usage in other things like DNA or RNA. Enzymes catalyze reactions. Without Enzymes, some of our basic body functions couldn't happen except at extreme temperatures if at all. read more
enzyme: when a group amino acids form a chain like structure by peptide bond ( bond formed between two molecules when the carboxyl group of one molecule reacts with the amino group of the other molecule) to perform specific biological function. read more
Now an enzyme is a combination of different proteins that have some similarity to their function (their codes from amino acids). The combination of proteins results to such as breathing, digestion, etc. read more
Although amino acids all have a similar structure, they are each chemically distinct. When they link together to form a new protein, the individual structures of the amino acids and how they interact with neighboring amino acids in the protein chain help determine the final shape, and, therefore, the ultimate function, of the protein. read more
