Amino Acid Transport
Proteins make up 30% of our nutrition
o 10-15% of total energy production
Cant completely oxidised into carbon dioxide and water, have an amino group
In stomach and small intestine proteins are digested by a variety of proteases
o Trypsin
o Chymotrypsin
o Pepsin
o Carboxypeptidases
o Aminopeptidases
o And more
Resulting amino acids are absorbed by epithelial cells lining the intestine
Absorptive surface of the intestine is enlarged by villi
o Protrude into the lumen a
o Are the principle sites of nutrient absorption
Transport proteins in membranes of epithelial cells mediate the uptake of nutrients
Protease Action
Intestinal proteases use several mechanisms to hydrolyse proteins and peptides
Meat: high protein - main source of protein
Case study: trypsin (outlines in practical course and lectures)
Catalytic trade
o Has three key residues in the active centre (in all protease)
Serine: most important catalytic residue
Histidine
Aspartate
Called the triade

All look far apart but when protein folds they are close together
Enzymes in stomach fully denature protein (very low pH)
Chymotrypsin: must have hydrophobic side chain

Document Summary

Amino acid transport: proteins make up 30% of our nutrition, 10-15% of total energy production, cant completely oxidised into carbon dioxide and water, have an amino group. Intermediate binds stringer to the active centre than the substrate. Subsequently, water attacks the ester bond releasing the amino-terminal peptide: reaction passes through a tetrahedral intermediate again, which is tightly bound, mechanism: Filtration of blood: liver and kidney: after absorption into intestine, amino acids are delivered of the liver by the portal vein. Liver has important function as gate-keeper in the body: toxic substances will be removed, most nutrient metabolised here, portal vein branches out allowing nutrients to be captured by hepatocytes and processed further. Transport proteins: without transport proteins, biological membranes are essentially impermeable to hydrophilic substances, to allow passage of amino acids, transport proteins are essential, transport proteins are similar to enzymes.
