Document Summary

Transamination = transfer an amino group from an essential amino acid to an alpha keto acid to make an nonessential amino acid. Amino acid pool: all of the amino acids in body tissues and fluids that are available for use by the body. Protein turnover: the continuous synthesis and breakdown of body protein. Peptide bonds: chemical bonds that link amino acids formed between the acid group of one group and the nitrogen group of the next. Cell signalling: calls for the need to synthesize a protein. Transcription: synthesis of a strand of mrna. Translation: mrna binds to ribosomes, trna translated the info and delivers aa in the correct sequence. Denaturation = pro(cid:272)ess (cid:271)y whi(cid:272)h protein"s 3d stru(cid:272)ture is altered. Some amino acids share the same transport system: dipeptides and tripeptides can enter the mucosal cell. Protein turnover = the process of breakdown, recovery and synthesis of protein.
