MGD Flashcards
2 polar AA
Serine cysteine
3 non polar AA
Glycine alanine valine
2 negative AA and their general properties
Glutamate Aspartate acidic
2 positbe Aa and properties
Lysine Arginine basic
Type of Aa that are helix fixers and 2 examples
Small hydrophobic, ala leucine
Both helix breakers and why
Pro as no C-N rotation
Gly as R group supports other conformations
Initial clotting factor of intrinsic and extrinsic pathways
Intrinsic XI
Extrinsic III
first clotting factor in common
X
Describe from factor X onwards in clotting cascade
Prothrombin to thrombin (increases factor X concentration)
Fibrinogen to fibrin
Fibrin clot
How does glutamate take part in clotting cascade
Carboxyl action in the liver
Carboxyglutamate binds to Ca2+ and site damage
Ca2+ required for prothrombin cleavage
4 methods of controlling and stopping the clotting cascade
Localisation of Ca by carboxylglu
Digestion of factors by protein C once thrombin binds to endothelial receptors
Inhibitors eg anti thrombin III
Fibrinolysis
How many rings do purines have
2
