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
