Document Summary
The biochemistry of protein proteins = chains of amino acids dipeptide = 2 amino acids polypeptide = more than 2 amino acids. 20 amino acids have similar features central carbon hydrogen an acid group (cooh) an amino group (nh2) unique side group condensation of two amino acids forms a dipeptide. Oh group from one amino acid and h from another combine to form water the two amino acids bond through a peptide bond and form a dipeptide. Phe-> tyrosine, except for in people with phenylketonuria, tyr becomes conditional essential they are dependent on this amino acid memorize the indispensable/essential amino acids with: pvt tim hll. Protein absorption amino acids must transport into intestinal cells to get into the blood and portal vein speci c carrier proteins for amino acids co-transport of on na+ per amino acid high a nity for leucine. Protein turnover liver and gut take away amino acids.
