Formation of a peptide bond- dehydration reaction (water is removed) Primary structure- the linear order of amino acids. Secondary structure- the shapes within parts of a protein (ex. alpha helix, beta- Tertiary structure- final three dimensional shape of the protein. The amino acid sequence of a protein determines it"s final 3d shape. The protein"s shape is critical to it"s function: Altering amino acid sequence can change protein function dramatically: ex. Even one amino acid change can result in a change in shape and: anemia- reduced oxygen carrying capacity in the blood therefore its function (ex. Growth and repair of tissues: some hormones (ex. Collagen, actin and myosin: normal turnover (breakdown and replacement) Transferrin: vitamin a transportation, all consumed protein can be digested and used for energy (4 kcal/g) Protein digestion and absorption (figure 6. 8 in textbook): What happens to the extra amino acids? (figure 6. 13 in textbook) Deamination- removal of nh2 group from the amino acid, which turns the amino.
