CC DAY-3 PROTEINS Flashcards
macromolecules made of amino acids, with each amino being linked to another via a peptide bond
proteins
formed when carboxyl group of one amino acid links to the amino group of another amino acid
peptide bond
end of protein structure with a free amino group
n-terminal
end of protein structure with a free carboxyl group
c-terminal
what is the nitrogen content of proteins
16%
a balance between anabolism and catabolism
nitrogen balance
it is composed of protein (apoprotein) abd nonprotein (prosthetic group) components
conjugated proteins
polypeptides composed of only amino acids
simple proteins
protein responsible for water balance
albumin
indicator of malnutrition
prealbumin/transthyretin
landmark to confirm specimen is CSF
prealbumin/transthyretin
Transports thyroxine and retinol by binding retinol binding protein
