Proteins as micronutrients -AA catabolism

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
AA   -1/2 syn -1/2 diet -40-50g daily requirement  
🗑
protein degradation   -all involve proteinases -in cyt. -catalysed by calpains or proteasomes  
🗑
cathepsins   -lysosomal proteinases -recycle aa from protiens  
🗑
digestion of AA   -pepsin digestion -acid denaturation & hydrolysis  
🗑
pepsin   -secreted as pepsinogen(inactive zymogen) -stomach acids modify (active)  
🗑
enterokinase attaches...   -to membrane of enterocyte which activate trypsinogen -causes cascade of proteinases  
🗑
Active chymotrypsin   -N-term + charge -forms ionic link W aspartic acid  
🗑
action of peptidases   -hydrolyse peptide bonds -in brush borders -active/facilitated diffusion  
🗑
Digestibility of proteins   -high efficiency -proteinase inhibitors prevents digestion  
🗑
Turnover of proteins   -7/8 essential aa recycled -300g aa endogenous -100g from diet  
🗑
Nitrogen balance (-ve)   -starvation -short term -decr intake -red. GI fn  
🗑
Nitrogen balance (+)   -children & pregnant -utilise to support protein syn. & growth  
🗑
equilibrium   -healthy adults -min=30-50g  
🗑
essential AA   -must be oresent in diet -his,leu,met,thr,val,ile,lys,phe,trp  
🗑
his&arg   -semi-essential -adults make enough but rate is too low  
🗑
requirement for met...   -can be made by cysteine + CH3 + v.v  
🗑
Tyr can be made from   -phe  
🗑
limiting AAs   -all aa must be present for syn. -continually supplied from diet -aa catabolised if not used  
🗑
complementary proteins   -2 low quality -combine to give overall aa balance  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
