Essential amino acid

Today I will be writing about the protein that I was assigned which was Structural Protein. What is your protein? What are they used for? They are used to build structural components of the body such as bones and cartilage. They are mostly found in larger cells. These proteins provide keratins, actin and support. I will be talking about why this protein is important and what does it do. The shape of a protei determines its function and there also a lot of different levels. An example of the…

1998b). They are often present in much higher concentrations in enzyme hydrolysates and have been correlated to beany off-odours described in numerous literature. Solina et al. (2005) compared the volatile components of soy protein isolate (SPI) and acid-hydrolysed soy protein and concluded that the significantly higher lipid content of SPI was responsible for green or beany odours attributed to high levels of aliphatic aldehydes and ketones. The formation of undesirable lipid-derived products…

melanocortin-1-receptors or MC1R genes found many variants of amino acid found in people who were red-haired but rarely found in the non-red people. Researchers have identified 3 common amino-acid-polymorphisms associated commonly with red haired people viz., R160W, R151C, & D294H. The abbreviated names mean common amino acid types were found in positions 160 151, & 294 in proteins are arginine (R), cysteine (C), arginine & aspartic acid (D), while amino acids histidine (H) & tryptophan (W),…

2014 Lysyl-tRNA Synthetase Lysyl-tRNA Synthetase has a couple known names, one of them being aminocyl tRNA. The major role of this protein is translation during protein synthesis. For a protein to be classified and placed into an amino acid group, its amino acid sequence must be properly translated. Transfer RNA helps translate the protein which helps with genetics. Aminoacyl tRNA synthetases are the enzymes that are responsible for the specific aminoacylation of tRNA (Yifat, 2013). Let’s…

Peptidomimetics are compounds whose essential elements (pharmacophore) mimic a natural peptide or protein in 3D space and which retain the ability to interact with the biological target and produce the same biological effect. The demand for modified peptides with improved stability profiles and pharmacokinetic properties is driving extensive research effort in this field. Many structural modifications of peptides guided by rational design and molecular modeling have been established to develop…

Protein is one of the most misunderstood nutrients on the planet. While we all know it’s essential for building muscle, skin, organs and hormones, many people are confused about how much protein they should be eating. Most people eat more protein in a day than their bodies actually need, as much as three to five times what is recommended. Individuals over the age of 18 only require that 10% to 30% of their daily calories come from protein. Excess dietary protein can pose serious health risks…

so gradually. Egg protein is considered the perfect protein because it’s made up of all the essential amino acids, branch chain amino acids, and glutamic acid. It is also fat-free, has no cholesterol, and is high in vitamins and minerals. The sulfur-containing amino acids present in egg protein gives the body a significant boost to its hormone pathways. Egg protein has a high concentration of the amino acid Leucine, which helps create protein synthesis after a meal. However, whey protein has…

the ability to properly break down an amino acid. To explain, the body needs proteins for the growth and building new cells and repair membranes, body gets protein from meat, fish, milk, eggs, grains, nuts, and then converts the protein into amino acids. The body gets rid of amino acids that are needed across the urine. Babies with this disease are missing an enzyme its called phenylalanine hydroxylase, which is needed to break down an essential amino acid called phenylalanine. The substance…

6 ingredients for a healthy lifestyle Is your nutrition healing or harming you? The quest for healthy living is not a sprint but a marathon. It takes a learning curve that begins with setting the tone on the right foundation. 6 building blocks make this foundation. This is a fact backed by centuries of research done in the field of medicine and nutrition. When you become familiar with the functions of these building blocks within the human body, it provides you with the framework to make…

Gluten in fact dominates the protein in the majority of `premium ` feeds. Because protein as coined by the Greeks means ‘of the first importance” is the foundation of the feed. It is from protein that all tissue is developed and maintained. If the diet’s protein component is not sound, (and in the case of the carnivore it should be the very soundest possible) then the diet will be unsound and result in breakdowns among the animals that consume it. Since gluten is one of the two major sources of…
