Document Summary

In the developed world- diet is typically rich in protein. In the developing world- it is really important to focus on protein in diet planning because protein deficiency can be a problem: aside from water protein makes up the majority of our lean body tissue. Protein structure: amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, amino acids are unique from carbohydrates and fats in that they contain nitrogen bonded to carbon. If r group changes name of amino acid changes its own characteristics: the protein in our bodies are mode up of 20 different amino acids. Protein structure: the sequence of amino acids is called the protein primary structure. This leads to the protein higher order structure. The higher order structure causes the protein to get into a specific shape (native conformation: this shape is necessary for the protein to work properly.
