Proteins

are a polypeptide chain of amino acids (AA) joined by peptide bonds

• Structure of proteins:

• Primary (the AA sequence)

• Secondary (e.g. alpha helix, beta pleated sheet, random coil)

• Tertiary (e.g. disulfide bridge with 2 cysteine)

• Quaternary (e.g. hemoglobin is a tetramer)

New cards

Amino acids

have an amino group at the 2-carbon of carboxylic acids.

• Classified by side chain structure (aliphatic, sulfur, hydroxyl, aromatic, cyclic, basic and acidic)

3
New cards

Amino acid classification

• Indispensable (essential in the diet): 9 amino acids (HTV TILL PM)

• Dispensable (non-essential in the diet; can be synthesized by humans)

• Conditionally essential under conditions when synthesis becomes limited or when amounts of precursors are inadequate or unavailable
