Macronutrients: Proteins Flashcards
building blocks, amino acids, 2nd most abundant in the body
protein
what are the classification of proteins?
simple, compound, derived
yield only amino acids upon hydrolysis
simple proteins
soluble in water and coagulated by heat
albumins
insoluble in water, soluble in dilute salt solution, and coagulated by heat
globulins
insoluble in neutral solvents, but soluble in weak acids and alkalis, they are coagulated by heat
glutelins
soluble in 70-80% alcohol but insoluble in absolute alcohol, water, and salth solutions
prolamins
insoluble in all neutral solvents and in dilute acids and alkalis
albuminoids
basic polypeptides, are soluble in water but not coagulated by heat, they are found in the nuclei of cells
histones and protamines
conjugated proteins or proteids
compound proteins
combinations of simple proteins and some other non-protein substance called a prosthetic group attached to a molecule
compound proteins
combination of simple proteins and nucleic acid
nucleoproteins
necessary for synthesis of protein in the cytoplasm
deoxyribonucleic nucleoproteins
combination of protein and large quantities of complex polysaccharides
mucoproteins and glycoproteins
compounds of protein and triglyceride or other lipids such as phospholipids or cholesterol found in cell and organelle membranes
lipoproteins
compounds pf phosphoric acid joined in ester linkage to protein found in casein of milk
phosphoproteins
compounds of proteins and non-protein pigments found in flavoproteins, hemoglobin, and cytochromes
chromoproteins
compounds or metals attached to proteins found in ferritin, hemosiderin, and transferrin
metalloproteins
products formed in the various stages of hydrolysis of a protein molecule
derived proteins
characteristic chain structure of amino acids
peptide linkage
long chains of amino acids that are linked in peptide
polypeptides
cannot be synthesized by the body and are necessary in the diet
essential amino acids
threonine, leucine, isoleucine, valine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, tryptophan
essential amino acids
can be manufactured by the body
non essential amino acids
