105 examples of Acids in a sentence

Chemical forces between the amino acids cause these long stringy molecules to fold up into unique, three-dimensional structures.
The shapes of proteins, and hence their remarkable functions, are completely specified by the sequence of amino acids in the protein chain.
I told you that nature uses an alphabet of 20 amino acids, and a typical protein is a chain of about 100 amino acids, so the total number of possibilities is 20 times 20 times 20, 100 times, which is a number on the order of 10 to the 130th power, which is enormously more than the total number of proteins which have existed since life on earth began.
Second, we're going far beyond nature's limited alphabet of just 20 amino acids to design new therapeutic candidates for conditions such as chronic pain, using an alphabet of thousands of amino acids.
The basic building blocks of enzymes are called amino acids.
There are 20 common amino acids, and we typically designate them with single-letter abbreviations, so it's really an alphabet of amino acids.
In an enzyme, these amino acids are strung together, like pearls on a necklace.
And it's really the identity of the amino acids, which letters are in that necklace, and in what order they are, what they spell out, that gives an enzyme its unique properties and differentiates it from other enzymes.
Now, this string of amino acids, this necklace, folds up into a higher-order structure.
The act of taking an enzyme from nature and playing with those amino acids, tinkering with those letters, putting some letters in, taking some letters out, maybe rearranging them a little bit, is a little bit like finding a book and editing a few chapters or changing the ending.
And we can start playing with those amino acids, as I said, putting some letters in, taking some letters out, rearranging those.
Still others are adding unnatural amino acids to the mix.
People with PKU are unable to properly metabolize or digest phenylalanine, which is one of the 20 common amino acids that we've been talking about.
We're really at a creative crossroads, and with enzymes, can edit what nature wrote or write our own stories with amino acids.
They think if we put a computer in the room, it's going to take the place of actually mixing the acids or growing the potatoes.
While they're not amino acids, we're now finding things like propane and benzene, hydrogen cyanide, and formaldehyde.
These walls get their strength from a thick, protective mesh of sugars and amino acids, that are constantly being broken down and rebuilt.
They came up with an unleavened whole wheat bread called carta musica made out of durum wheat, a type of cheese made from grass-fed animals so the cheese is high in Omega-3 fatty acids instead of Omega-6 fatty acids from corn-fed animals, and a type of wine that has three times the level of polyphenols than any known wine in the world.
And they really help molecules, like nucleic acids, like RNA and DNA, stay inside, develop, change, divide and do some of the processes that we call life.
Protein is one of our most important dietary requirements, and evidence shows that lack of essential amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, in young children's diets, can result in stunting.
Essential amino acids are called essential because we can't synthesize them in our bodies.
So, in soap, fatty acids made from boiling pork bone fat are used as a hardening agent, but also for giving it a pearl-like effect.
Dogs can distinguish two very similar fatty acids, extremely diluted: caprylic acid and caproic acid.
Haldane guesses that a dog would probably be able to place the acids in the order of their molecular weights by their smells, just as a man could place a number of piano wires in the order of their lengths by means of their notes.
Translation from RNA creates three-dimensional proteins from combinations of 22 essential amino acids – essential only because our bodies are not able to make them, so they must be obtained from our diet instead.
Women and children are the worst affected, especially during times of economic hardship, when they have the least access to meat, beans, and other sources of sulfur amino acids necessary for the liver to detoxify cyanide in the body.
Bernal's main scientific interest was initially the atomic structure of crystals, metals, and minerals, then of hormones and sterols--and of some amino acids, the building blocks of proteins.
Astbury, meanwhile, moved to Leeds in 1928, where he also began working on amino acids and proteins.
The Racism of the Welfare StateTwo demographic acids are corroding Continental Europe's welfare states.
This unsavory brew was likely “spiced” with abundant small organic molecules such as amino acids, sugars, nitrogenous bases, and other typical components of biological constituents.
