Protein soluble in water
albumin
What diff proteins from carb/lipid
nitrogen
conjugated protein
protein plus prosthetic grp
lipo, glyco/muco, nucleo
5 plasma proteins
albumin, alpha 1, alpha 2, beta, gamma
Primary protein structure
amino acids
Secondary protein structure
alpha helix, beta pleated sheets
Tertiary protein structure
3D
Quaternary protein structure
2+ polypeptide chains
Enzyme deficiency with decreased enzymes leading to buildup of ketoacids
inherited metabolic disorder involving leucine, isoleucine, and valine (a group of branch chain amino acids).
maple syrup disease
Aminoacidpathy caused by defiency in the enzyme to metabolize phenylalanine
mousy urine
Phenylketonuria, PKU
Aminoacidopathy due to enzyme deficiency due to lack of enzyme to break down tyrosine/phenylalanine leading to buildup of homo-gentistic acid
deficiency of a single enzyme called homogentisate 1,2 dioxygenase
urine turns a dark brownish-black color when exposed to air
Alkaptonuria
Cystinuria
Tyrosinemia
inherited metabolic,
excessive amount of undissolved cysteine, doesn’t get reabsorbed by kidney, kidney stones
Tyrosine/metabolites excreted in urine
Deficiency in enzyme needed to metabolize methionine
Increased levels of this amino causes stroke, CVD, alzheimers, osteoporesis, nutrional def
Homocystinuria
build up of methionine and homo-cysteine (metabolite of methionine)
4 causes of hypoproteinemia
Not getting/making enough:
malnutrition
liver disease(doesn’t make protein)
Protein loss:
burns(protein loss thru wound)
nephrotic syndrome(loss thru urine)
3 Causes of hyperproteinemia
dehydration
Multiple myeloma, Waldenstroms
5 immunoglobulin
G,A,M,E,D
4 measurements of TP…
TP g/dL…
Biuret
Dye binding
Kjeldahl
Refractometry
TP 6.4-8.3 g/dL
TP g/dL
albumin g/dL
microalbumin in urine mg/24hr
TP 6.4-8.3g/dL
Albumin 3.5-5 g/dL (about 60% of TP) rest is globulins
microalbumin 50-200 mg/24hr
Calculation of A/G ratio
Albumin/TP-albumin
Total protein method that reacts with >= 2 peptide bonds in proteins
Biuret
Biuret reaction for TP uses…
which forms what color complex
copper salts
which forms a purple color
What does a biuret reaction for total protein analysis depend on?
Peptide bonds
Under strongly alkaline conditions, Cu2+ ions form multivalent complexes with peptide bonds in proteins. The absorbance attributable to proteins is measured spectrophotometrically at 540 nm, and the biuret reaction reacts equally with all proteins and peptides longer than two amino acids
4 dyes in dye binding for TP
Bromophenol Blue
Coomassie brilliant blue
Ponceau S
Amido black
Reference method for TP, not used often
Kjeldahl
