PPT-1 Proteins

2 Proteins Proteins are polymers made of monomers called amino acids All proteins are made of 20 different amino acids linked in different orders Proteins are used to build cells act as hormones amp enzymes and do much of the work in a cell. B. Suarez, R. Martinez, O. Diaz, H. Jones, T. Ashraf, E. Priddis, K. Durham, Undergraduate Biology Research, Cochise Community College, Sierra Vista, AZ . INTRODUCTION.  . Genomic and proteomic studies can reveal multi-dimensional aspects of biological model organisms. DNA sequencing and short tandem repeats are utilized to characterize organism’s phylogenetic relationships; another approach is to study their various proteins. Many genomic studies utilize extraction and amplification of nucleic acids to help make detection more straightforward. There is no proteomic procedure similar to PCR that would identify proteins at their naturally existing concentration, as well as the presence of many other proteins for comparative studies. Most methods for studying proteins revolve around running 1D, 2D, or 3D gels, and comparing and identifying similar proteins. . Introduction:. Plasma proteins are:. Serum albumin.. Serum globulin.. Fibrinogen.. Serum contains albumin and globulin.. Fibrinogen is absent . Converted into fibrin during blood clotting.. Therefore albumin and globulin are called serum albumin and serum globulin.. . from lack of structure to. pleiotropy. of functions. Lilia Iakoucheva. University of California, San Diego.

The primary structure is simply the sequence of amino acids in a protein.. Chains of amino acids are written from the amino terminus (N-terminus) to the carboxyl terminus (C-terminus).. B.2.

Most abundant molecule in cells making up 50% or more of their dry weight. Every protein has a unique structure, or shape. Allows it to perform a specific function. Enzymes are proteins that function as catalysts for many reactions in foods. Chromatin is made of repeating units of nucleosomes, which consist of 146 base pairs of DNA wrapped around an octamer of four core . histone proteins (H3, H4, H2A and H2B). Introduction. Histones are a special group of proteins found in the nuclei of eukaryotic cells responsible for DNA folding and chromatin formation.. The concentration of many of these are affected by pathological processes; they are therefore measured.. They contain disulphide bonds.. Functions of plasma proteins include:. Transport. Maintaining plasma . Unit 1 Advanced Higher. Miss Aitken. Pages 16-25. Textbook. Proteomics. Genome:. complete set of DNA. Comprises of coding and non-coding areas. 20-25000 genes in human genome.
