Document Summary

Protein: protein contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen plus nitrogen, amino acids are the building blocks of protein, some amino acids are essential. Structure of amino acids: backbone (2 groups): What makes protein different from one another? (2: sequence. Peptide bonds join amino acids together in a chain: shape. Retraction and repulsion of side chain: affinity from water. 9 aa"s are essential body can"t make these amino acids; food. 11 aa"s are non-essential can make from other amino acids; does not need to eat. We convert one amino acid type to another. Transamination -- synthesizing nonessential amino acids (aa"s) through transfer of a nh2 group (amino group) Deamination -- removing nh2 group (amino group) as first step of using aa"s for energy (when excess aa"s). Nh2 is incorporated into urea in liver, excreted in urine: we need to eat essential aa"s. Ample amounts of all 9 essential amino acids.
