Document Summary
Proteins are the second most abundant component of plants and animals. Found in meat, fish, milk, dried beans, peanuts, nuts, seeds, and some vegetables. 20 total but 9 are essential: essential amino acids; can"t be synthesized by body, tyrosine is made up of phenylalanine. Protein synthesis occurs from dna, mrna, and trna: aa"s are taken up by rrna and turned on by hor emones and signalling molecules. Occurs due to ph, heat, alcohol, oxidation, or mechanical agitation: eggs (ovatransferrin, ovalbumin denature at higher heat to become firm and make. Mechanical: collagen; provides structure to tissues, biomolecular motors; harness energy for body. Immune function: antibodies and blood proteins neutralize antigen actions. Fluid balance: albumin and globulins in the blood are to big to leave cv system common sign of protein malnutrition. Acid-base balance: normal ph of 7. 4 blood proteins can bind to alkaline atoms/molecules to buffer an acidic ph. Transport functions: lipoproteins are used in transport.
