Document Summary
Nfs284h1 chapter 6 proteins and amino acids. Meat is a status food and cannot be afforded in some other places. Plant proteins in developing countries and can afford the energy that requires a lot of energy. Increased in gdp increases in animal consumption. Minerals and iron in meat are extremely bio available which means your body will readily absorb whatever is there. Iron from plant sources is not too bio available. Side chain distinguishes the different functions and shapes of the amino acids. Essential amino acids cannot form from our body. Can be repackaged to make nonessential amino acids. Conditionally essential required for people have certain deficiencies. Some structures are not beneficial to certain functions. Such as hemoglobin, it is a spherical protein. If the protein shape is altered = no more function. Denaturing can change the shape, such as acid and heat. Example, egg white solidifies and turns into white.
