Document Summary
Bioc 2300 lecture 5 january 16, 2019 amino acids and proteins: primary structure. Proteins, amino acids, and nutrition: according to google: a billion/year supplement industry in the us. Glycine is gluten-free and is used for good joints. Glutamate is a neurotransmitter and also an amino acid. Proteome is much greater than the genome partially because of alternative splicing and post-translational modifications. The proteins are often times at the center of diseases. Most of the biological reactions occur are due to proteins. If the protein does not work, there is a disease mechanism that has gone on. Collagen is a fibrous protein in our skin to keep skin tension. Insulin is important for physiology and is a transmembrane protein. Rhodopsin is used for sight and has a spot at the center where retinal is located. By light hitting the retinal, signal transduction allows us to see.
