A group of three nucleotides is called a codon that codes for a specific amino acid in the protein. There are 20 essential amino acids present in human body and are required in the diet.
Each amino acid is given a one-letter code that makes the study of amino acid sequences easy. One letter code for the given amino acid sequence Glutamic Acid-Histidine-Tyrosine is E-H-Y in which E is code for Glutamic Acid, H is a code for Histidine, and Y is a code for Tyrosine.
Carboxylic acids and alcohols react in the presence of strong acid to produce an ester and water. The two carbon chains come together, which is the condensation, and then water is generated, which is dehydration. The resulting compound is an ester.
