Document Summary

Are made of long strings of amino acids. There is some protein in grain products (3-5g) There is little protein in vegetables and fruit. So small of amount that they don"t count as a protein source. Contain; hydrogen group amino group (nh2) acid group(=o, oh) Side chain is unique to each type of amino acid. 9 of these are essential amino acids, meaning our body cannot make them and you have to consume them through food. 11 are non-essential still important, but our body can make them through transamination. Transamination: amino group gets transferred onto another carbon molecule. Bond is occurring between an amino group and the acid group. Bonds form a long amino acid chain. Peptide: amino acids attached using a peptide bond. Proteins are made from one or more polypeptide strands. Different amino acids in the chain are attracted to each other. Folding determines the shape- which determines the function. One protein may contain several polypeptide chains.
