And you flip it over, and it's the amino acids with the pH at which they have different charges.
They're very repetitive, and they're very rich in the amino acids glycine and alanine.
This is the amino acid tryptophan.
It would be able to make new proteins, proteins built from more than the 20 normal amino acids that are usually used to build proteins.
So here they are, the 20 normal amino acids that are strung together to make a protein, and I think you can see, they're not that different-looking.
What if we could make proteins with new amino acids with things attached to them that protect them from their environment, that protect them from being degraded or eliminated, so that they could be better drugs?
So could we take those molecules and make them parts of new amino acids that, when incorporated into a protein, are guided by that protein to their target?
But within every one of these proteins, there's a new amino acid that natural life can't build proteins with.
And we even made a protein-rich meal that has an amino acid profile similar to what you might find in some animal proteins.
Chemical forces between the amino acids cause these long stringy molecules to fold up into unique, three-dimensional structures.
In this picture, each letter on top is an amino acid.
The genes in your genome specify the amino acid sequences of your proteins.
Each gene encodes the amino acid sequence of a single protein.
The translation between these amino acid sequences and the structures and functions of proteins is known as the protein folding problem.
Because of this complexity, humans have only been able to harness the power of proteins by making very small changes to the amino acid sequences of the proteins we've found in nature.
Once we've designed the new protein, we encode its amino acid sequence in a synthetic gene.
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.
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.
The other thing that surprised us quite a bit is these photoreceptors detect different wavelengths of light, and we can predict that based on their amino acid sequence.
(The defect results in a single aberrant amino acid being inserted into the hemoglobin protein.)
Finally, in 1970 a splendid computer innovation enabled the proper alignment of amino acid sequences (which is vital to all subsequent data management).
