BIOL 1110 Lecture Notes - Lecture 17: Metabolic Pathway, Phenylalanine, Phenyl Group
Document Summary
Type 2: type 1: body does not produce insulin. No insulin production need external source of insulin. Amino acid chains are greater than 100 aa- polypeptides. Amino acid sources: no storage depots of amino acids w/n body. Group that has to be to synthesized (by: metabolic pathway) (have to have a precursor) If you"re eating a balanced diet, then you should be getting all your essential aa"s. C. tremendous amount of enzyme mediation in these pathway where we synthesize amino acids. Alter dna; disrupts or prevents the production of the phenyl hydrolase. When there is no conversion of phenylalanine: it builds up and creates cns issues. Dietary restriction: protein differs from poly paccs because they rarely exists in a long chain form. Amino acid sequence w/n a polypeptide chain. Heavy impact on subsequent st. b) 2 st. (secondary) Substructure or a localized area where we obs curling, folding of chains.
