Presentation Transcript


  1. Protein: Amino Acids Amino acids: building blocks of protein Copyright 2005 Wadsworth Group, a division of Thomson Learning

  2. Amino Acids • Proteins: compounds composed of C, O, N, H atoms • Arranged into amino acids linked in a chain. Copyright 2005 Wadsworth Group, a division of Thomson Learning

  3. Amino Acids • Nonessential amino acids • a.k.a dispensable amino acids • Essential amino acids • a.k.a indispensable amino acids • Conditionally essential amino acids Copyright 2005 Wadsworth Group, a division of Thomson Learning

  4. Extra Credit • Which amino acid is not essential for adults, but is essential for infants?

  5. Proteins • Peptide bond • Unites each amino acid to the next • Connects the acid end of one aa to the amino end of another aa.

  6. Proteins • Dipeptide – two amino acids bonded together Copyright 2005 Wadsworth Group, a division of Thomson Learning

  7. Proteins • Tripeptide – three amino acids bonded together.

  8. Proteins • Polypeptide Copyright 2005 Wadsworth Group, a division of Thomson Learning

  9. Proteins • Amino acid sequences • Series of amino acids bonded together to make protein • Amino acids = letters of the alphabet • Proteins = words Copyright 2005 Wadsworth Group, a division of Thomson Learning

  10. Protein Review • Proteins are made from… • Amino acids • Two amino acids bonded together… • Dipeptide (for example: val-arg) • The bond that link amino acids together • Peptide bond

  11. What gives protein its shape and function? • Amino acid sequence

  12. Protein shape and function • Amino acids sequence gives protein its shape and function Copyright 2005 Wadsworth Group, a division of Thomson Learning

  13. Proteins • Protein denaturation • Uncoil and lose their shapes and loses its functions • Example: • Heat • Acid Copyright 2005 Wadsworth Group, a division of Thomson Learning

  14. Protein Digestion • Stomach • HCl = uncoils, so enzymes can attack peptide bonds • Pepsinogen (proenzyme)  pepsin (active) • HCl activates pepsinogen in the stomach • Pepsin cleaves large polypeptides  smaller polypeptides and some amino acids. Copyright 2005 Wadsworth Group, a division of Thomson Learning

  15. Protein Digestion • Small intestine • Proteases • Intestinal and pancreatic • Hydrolyze to tripeptides, dipeptides, and amino acids • Peptidases • On membranes of intestinal cells split most dipeptides & tripeptides into amino acids ***Prepared and ready for absorption Copyright 2005 Wadsworth Group, a division of Thomson Learning

  16. Thurs

  17. Protein Digestion in the GI Tract

  18. Protein Absorption • Carriers – transport into intestinal cells and be used • Capillaries – transport to liver • Absorption misconceptions • Enzyme/amino acid supplements Copyright 2005 Wadsworth Group, a division of Thomson Learning

  19. Roles of Proteins • Building material • Growth: build bone • Maintenance: replacement, ie. dead skin cells, hair, fingernails. Copyright 2005 Wadsworth Group, a division of Thomson Learning

  27. Protein Metabolism • Protein turnover: process in which or body continually make and breakdown proteins. • Amino acid pool Copyright 2005 Wadsworth Group, a division of Thomson Learning

  28. Protein Metabolism • Using amino acids to make proteins • Using amino acids to make nonessential amino acids Copyright 2005 Wadsworth Group, a division of Thomson Learning

  29. MWF

  30. Protein Metabolism • Using amino acids to make other compounds • Neurotransmitters • Tyrosine  epinephrine, nor- • Using amino acids for energy and glucose Copyright 2005 Wadsworth Group, a division of Thomson Learning

  31. Protein Metabolism • Deamination: N are stripped when aa are broken down • Ammonia  liver  urea  kidneys • Using amino acids to make fat Copyright 2005 Wadsworth Group, a division of Thomson Learning

  32. Protein Quality • High-quality proteins • Digestibility • Animal vs. plant • Amino acid composition • Limiting amino acid Copyright 2005 Wadsworth Group, a division of Thomson Learning

  33. Protein Quality • Reference protein • How protein vs. requirement • Complementary proteins Copyright 2005 Wadsworth Group, a division of Thomson Learning

  34. Protein Quality • PDCAAS • Protein digestibility-corrected amino acid score Copyright 2005 Wadsworth Group, a division of Thomson Learning

  35. Protein-Energy Malnutrition (PEM) • Acute PEM • Chronic PEM Copyright 2005 Wadsworth Group, a division of Thomson Learning
