CC Proteins Flashcards
Formed by carboxyl (-COOH) group of one AA links to amino group (NH2) of another AA with the loss of H2O molecule
PEPTIDE BOND
End of protein w/ free amino group
N-TERMINAL
End of protein w/ free carboxyl group
C-TERMINAL
Nitrogen content of proteins
16%
AA linked through covalent peptide bonding in a spec sequence to form a polypeptide chain
PRIMARY STRUCTURE
PP chain winds and forms A-helix and B-sheets through hydrogen bonds bet CO and NH
SECONDARY STRUCTURE
Coiled PP chain folds upon itself forming 3D through interaction of R groups
TERTIARY STRUCTURE
2 or more folded PP chain bind together by hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions
QUATERNARY STRUCTURE
Classification of proteins composed of only AA
SIMPLE PROTEINS
Symmetrical, compactly folded PP chain
GLOBULAR PROTEINS
Elongated, asymmetrical PP chain
FIBROUS PROTEINS
Classification of protein composed of protein and prosthetic group
CONJUGATED PROTEINS
Proteins with metal prosthetic grp
METALLOPROTEINS
Protein with lipids
LIPOPROTEINS
Proteins with 10-40% carbohydrates attatched
GLYCOPROTEINS
Proteins with >40% carbohydrates attatched
MUCOPROTEINS
Protein with DNA or RNA
NUCLEOPROTEINS
Function of protein as ionizable R groups of the individual AA of a protein provide buffering capacity by binding or releasing H ions as needed
BUFFER
Function of protein: Binding of hormones, free Hb, lipids, drugs, etc to allow movt of these in the circulation
TRANSPORTER
Proteins that protect body from forein invaders
ANTIBODY
Functions as receptors for hormones to activate cellular components
CELLULAR PROTEINS
A structural protein wc is a fibrous component that maintains structure of body
COLLAGEN
Catalysts that accelerate chemical rxns
ENZYMES
What organ synthesizes most of the plasma proteins?
LIVER
Trace the degradation of protein
Protein-AA-Deamination-Ammonia-Urea-Excreted in urine
These are released at the site of injury which causes the liver to increase synthesis of acute phase reactants
CYTOKINES
Humoral antibodies produced in response to foreign antigen and destroys them
IMMUNOGLOBULINS
Total protein reference range
6.5 to 8.3 g/dL
Albumin reference range
3.5 to 5.0 g/dL
Caused by urinary loss, GI tract inflammation, liver diseases, malnutrition
HYPOPROTENEMIA
Caused by dehydration, inc prot prod caused by mono and polyclonal gamlopathies
HYPERPROTENEMIA
Indicator of nutritional status and transport thyroid hormones
PREALBUMIN/ TRANSERYTHIN
Synthesized in the liver and is the highest concentration on all plasma proteins
ALBUMIN
Acute phase reactant and protease inhibitor that neutralizes trypsin ezymes
ALPHA-1-ANTITRYPSIN
Synthesized during gestation in the yolk sac and liver of the fetus peaking at 13 wks and declining at 34 wks
ALPHA 1 FETOPROTEIN
Measured bet 15 and 20 wks of gestation and reported in multiples of median
MATERNAL SERUM AFP
Acute phase reactant that binds to basic drugs
ALPHA 1 ACID GLYCOPROTEIN
Alpha 2 globulin that binds free Hb; acute phase reactant
HAPTOGLOBIN
Macromolecules of amino acid with each AA linked to another via peptide bond
