CH6- proteins Flashcards
AA conponent
R group
AMINO CARBON ACID GROUP
GROUP
H
Dehydratioin synthesis
process that joins all AA to prtns
Peptide bonds
bonds between amino acids
join AA to form
di, tri, oligo, and poly
Hydrolisis
breaks AA bonds
R group
gives AA its unique property
9 essential AA
Histidine
Isoleucine
leucine
9 essential AA
Lysine
Methionine
Phenylalanine
9 essential AA
Threonine

Gene expression
process by which cells use genes to make proteins
Gene
segment of DNA that serves as a template for synthesis of a particular protn
Trancription
mRNA copies gene info in nucleus
Translation
Genetic info carried by mRNA is translated to AA acid sequence of a prtn at the ribosome
DNA
specifies the type of AA that has to be made
tRNA
Molecules roam the cytoplasm until they succeed in binding with specific amino that matches their order
