2
Introduction Organic compound with high MW Similar CHO, fat but contained S Growth and repaired Essential for blood, tissue, enzymes, immune and hormone (Riis, 1983; McDonald et al., 2011)
3
Amino acid characteristics Are biologically important organic compounds made from amine (-NH 2 ) and carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional groups. Amino acid, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. 20 standard amino acids, 9 of the 20 standard amino acids are called “essential”
4
Amino acid characteristics OpenStax College (2013)
5
Structure of 20 amino acid McDonald et al. (2011)
6
Zwitter amino acid McDonald et al. (2011)
7
Type of amino acids Neutral nonpolar amino acids Neutral polar amino acids Acidic amino acids Basic amino acids
8
Peptide >2 amino acids Dipeptide 2 AA Tripeptide 3 AA Polypeptide >3 AA
9
Peptide bond McDonald et al. (2011)
10
Role of peptide Glutathione Oxytocin Enkephalins Thyrotropin Antibiotics
11
Protein characteristics More than 100 molecule AA Protein are large biological molecules consisting of one or more chains of amino acid. Proteins perform a vast array of functions within living organisms A polypeptide is a single linear polymer chain of amino acids bonded together by peptide bonds between the carboxyl and amino groups.
12
Protein structure Primary structure Secondary structure Tertiary structure Quaternary structure OpenStax College (2013)
13
Primary structure such as DNA, RNA or typical intracellular protein
14
Secondary structure such as proteins and nucleic acids (DNA/RNA)
15
Tertiary structure Protein or any other macromolecule is its three- dimensional structure
16
Quaternary structure Arrangement of multiple folded protein or coiling protein molecules in a multi-subunit complex
17
Protein classification Configuration Chemical composition Nutrient composition Role Part of protein Protein in animal science
18
Role of protein Parts of the body Transport protein Cell synthesis Enzymes Hormones Growth Production protective protein Reproductive Storage protein Contractile protein
19
Conclusion 1 2 3 Role of AA and protein Types of AA and protein Structure of AA and protein
