Document Summary

Chapter 6: proteins: crucial components of all body tissues. The building blocks of proteins are amino acids. Amino acids are nitrogen-containing molecules that combine to form proteins. We must obtain essential amino acids from food. Essential amino acids are amino acids that aren"t produced by the body and that must be obtained from food. Out of the 20 amino acids in our bodies, 9 are classi ed as essential. Non-essential amino acids are amino acids that can be manufactured by the body in suf cient quantities and therefore do not need to be consumed regularly in our diet. Make non-essential by transferring amine group from essential amino acid to a different. Under some conditions, non-essential amino acid can become essential conditionally acid group and side chain process called transamination essential amino acid. Amino acids bond to form a variety of peptides another to form chemical bond called peptide bond.

1. Polypeptide strands is the active form of a digestive enzyme in the stomach that breaks polypeptide chains into smaller polypeptides.

2. Cleavage of proteins by pepsin in the stomach results in formation of pepsinogen which get broken down further in the small intestine.

3. An amino acid chain made up of three amino acids joined together is called a tripeptide.

4. Dipeptide describes an amino acid chain made up of two amino acids joined together.

5. The 20 different amino acids are the building blocks used for protein synthesis.

6. Amino acid pools are stockpiles found in the blood and other cells of the body that can be used to build new proteins.

7. The continual process of degrading and synthesizing protein is called protein turnover.

8. The stomach produces pepsin, which denatures protein.

9. Denaturation occurs when a protein is exposed to heat, acid, bases, or mechanical agitation resulting in unfolding of the protein, though the peptide bonds remain intact.

10. The part of an amino acid that contains nitrogen is called the amine group.

11. The acid group is also known as the carboxyl group.

12. Single amino acids that are absorbed in the small intestine travel to the liver via the portal vein.
