Document Summary
Max growth for some species (dogs and cats) Occurs as a free amino acid in the cat. Occurs in l configuration when it is used by the body. Synthetic aa often involves the production of an equal amount of d and l configurations. D is left in the gut and most aa are l isomers. Need to meet the individual aa requirements of the animal or protein synthesis completely stops. Structure within the localized part of the protein. And the shape of the product from this folding. Natural consequence of the aa sequence and arrangement. When folding goes wrong you get prion disease (ex. All cells synthesize proteins for part or all of their life cycle. But sometimes the proteins are absorbed intact and are used as is. Ex: colostrum- babies absorb intact antibodies and use them as such. Animals require aa and nor preformed proteins but its easiest to get aa from preform animal meat.
