The erepsin in the intestinal juice, "succus entericus," brings about further change in the proteins, with the production of amino acids.
These transformed substances are known as amino acids, the production of which is a result of digestion in the digestive tract.
The thing is of no consequence, only it is as well to be correct.
It will scarcely be credited, but not one of these men ever appeared the least intoxicated during the whole time they lay there.
We remained in this situation for several days, one division only being on the opposite side, with which it was impossible to communicate, or, if attacked, to afford it almost any support.

In this process the machinery has translated the nucleic-acid code into the protein code; that is, it has translated a sequence of the bases into a sequence of amino acids.
In the pancreatic juice is a powerful enzyme called trypsin, which digests proteins, first to fragments, next smaller than proteoses, called peptones, and finally breaks these peptones into amino acids.
The way of finding out how much protoplasmic wastage there is is to go on a diet which contains abundant starch and fat for energy supplies, but no protein or amino acids.
These organic acids all contain nitrogen, which puts them into a class to which is given the name of amino acids.
University of California at Berkeley have been investigating the code for amino acids in protein synthesis, the key for translating the sequence of bases in DNA into the sequence of amino acids in proteins.
The apparent mechanism for the production of amino acids is as follows: aldehydes and hydrogen cyanide are synthesized in the gas phase by the electrical discharge.
Small amounts of amino acids, sugars, and fatty acids are also present.
Scientists have shown that biologically important compounds, such as amino acids, can be generated by applying an electrical discharge, ultraviolet radiation, or heat to a gaseous mixture.
Most natural proteins have alpha-amino acids as the monomeric constituents.
The above list will hopefully provide you with a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "amino acids" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this group of words.
