(on average an amino acid is ~100 Daltons) Assuming whole composition of meat is protein, the number of amino acids molecules in 500 grams is 3.011 x 1024 molecules.
Why do humans eat beef but do not become a cow, eat fish but do not become fish? This is because our digestion breaks down macromolecules into their monomers. Proteins are broken down into amino acids that later are used for the biosynthesis of proteins. The phenotypic characteristic of an organism is defined in its principally by its genome, and it’s not affected by the food they consume.</description><generator>Hugo</generator><language>en</language><atom:link href="https://pages.htgaa.org/2026a/jorge-alejandro-electo-oshiyama/homework/week-04-hw-protein-design-part-i/index.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/></channel></rss>
