PROTEINS Flashcards
proteins are composed of
linear polymers of amino acids
most abundant and functionally diversed molecules in living systems
proteins
the set of all proteins expressed by an individual cell at a particular time
proteome
amino acids with aliphatic side chains
Glycine Alanine Valine Leucine Isoleucine
Amino acids with hydroxylic groups
Serine
Threonine
Tyrosine
amino acids with side chains containing sulfur atoms
Cysteine
Methionine
Amino acid with aromatic side chains
Histidine
PhenylaLanine
Tyrosine
Tryptophan
an Imino acido
Proline
Amino acids with basic group
Arginine
Lysine
Histidine
Amino acids with acidic groups and their amides
Aspartic acid
Asparagine
Glutamic acid
Glutamine
has the smallest side chain
used in the 1st step of hene synthesis
glycine
carries nitrogen from peripheral tissues to the liver
Alanine
used in purine synthesis
glycine
branched chain amino acids whose metAbolites accumulate in MSUD
valine
leucine
isoleucine
major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the spinal cord
Glycine
accumulates in phenylketonuria
phenylalanine
has the largest side chain
precursor for niacin,serotonin (5-HT) and melatonin
tryptophan
transfer of methyl groups as S-adenosylmethionine
precursor of homocysteine
methionine
an imino acid that contributes to the fibrous structure of collagen and interrups alpha helices in globular proteins
Proline
contains a sulfhydryl group that is an active part of many enzymes
csyteine
two cysteines can be connected by a covalent disulfide bond to form
cystine
has a carbonyl group and an amide group that can also form hydrogen bonds
asparagine and glutamine
site for n linked glycosylation in endoplasmic reticulum
asparagine
deaminated by glutaminase resulting in the formation of ammonia
major carrier of nitrogen to the liver from peripheral tissues
glutamine
