17
Q

Elastase has substrate specificity for what?

A

Hydrophobic Amino acids

18
Q

What are the major end products of protein digestion?

A

Free Amino Acids
Dipeptides
Tripeptides

19
Q

How are dipeptides and tripeptides transported across intestinal cell?

A

By using an H+ symporter

20
Q

How are Free Amino Acids transported into intestinal cell?

A

Using a Na Symporter

21
Q

How are all amino acids taken up by the capillary?

A

By using a Na Symporter

22
Q

What is Ubiquitin?

A

It is a marker that tags proteins for degradation by the proteasome

23
Q

T or F, Few Amino Acids are reincorporated into new proteins within the body

A

False, Most amino acids are.

24
Q

What are the three determinants of Protein longevity

A

Oxidation
PEST Sequences
Amino Terminal Residues

25
Q

What is the significance of Amino Terminal residues?

A

Some have high stabalizing residues while others have destabalizing. This determines the longevity of the AA

26
Q

What are the 4 PEST Sequences

A

Glutamate
Proline
Serine
Threonine
