Amino Acid Quotes
That the primary effect of gene mutation may be as simple as the substitution of a single amino acid by another and may lead to profound secondary changes in protein structure and properties has recently been strongly indicated by the work of Ingram on hemoglobin.
Tags: Simple, Single, Work ✍ Author: Edward Lawrie TatumThe basic structure of proteins is quite simple: they are formed by hooking together in a chain discrete subunits called amino acids.
Tags: Quite, Simple, Together ✍ Author: Nicole BeharieA comparison between the triplets tentatively deduced by these methods with the changes in amino acid sequence produced by mutation shows a fair measure of agreement.
Tags: Between, Changes, Fair ✍ Author: Francis CrickA final proof of our ideas can only be obtained by detailed studies on the alterations produced in the amino acid sequence of a protein by mutations of the type discussed here.
Tags: Here, Ideas, Studies ✍ Author: Francis CrickIt is one of the more striking generalizations of biochemistry - which surprisingly is hardly ever mentioned in the biochemical textbooks - that the twenty amino acids and the four bases, are, with minor reservations, the same throughout Nature.
