Amino acids/protien

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Define tetrapeptide.   4 Amino acids linked together  
🗑
A protein made up of three different proteins and is found in skeletal and cardiac muscle. Its main function is to regulate muscle contraction. Used to diagnose and monitor MI.   Troponin  
🗑
Copper containing protein   Ceruloplasmin  
🗑
Define Tertiary structure of a protein.   The three-dimensional structure of a protein  
🗑
Define amphoteric.   proteins can have a postive or negative charge  
🗑
(an acute phase reactant) neutralizes enzymes that can cause structure damage to proteins   Alpha-1 antitrypsin  
🗑
Contain peptide chains, which, on hydrolysis (addition of water) breakdown into amino acids only.   Simple proteins  
🗑
Define the quaternary structure of a protein.   The arrangement of two or more polypeptide chains  
🗑
Define primary structure of a protein.   Number, kinds of amino acids, and their sequence in the polypeptide chain  
🗑
Define dipeptide.   2 amino acids linked together  
🗑
protein marker for neural tube disorders, spina bifida and fetal distress in general   Alpha-1 fetoprotein (AFP)  
🗑
Define the secondary structure of a protein.   Winding of the polypeptide chain, usualy forms a helix  
🗑
What are the building blocks of proteins?   Amino acids  
🗑
Define polypeptide.   More than 4 amino acids linked together.  
🗑
Antibodies (IgM, IgG, IgD, IgE, IgA)   Immunoglobulins  
🗑
Five common bands seen on a serum electrophoresis.   albumin, alpha-1 globulins, alpha-2 globulins, beta-globulins, gamma globulins  
🗑
An increased level of protein above the normal patient reference range.   Hyperproteinemia  
🗑
(plasma protein in highest concentration in blood) maintains blood pressure and binds various substances in the blood   Albumin  
🗑
Binds free hemoglobin – used to evaluate rheumatic disease and intravascular hemolysis   Haptoglobin  
🗑
Removal of heme portion of hemoglobin molecule from the blood   Hemopexin  
🗑
Define tripeptide.   3 amino acids linked together  
🗑
A protein found in skeletal and cardiac muscles, concentration level increases in the blood when there is damage to muscles.   Myoglobin  
🗑
Define aminoacidopathy.   Enzyme defect that inhibits the body's ability to metabolize certain amino acids  
🗑
Forms fibron clot when activated by thrombin   Fibrinogen  
🗑
Define denaturation.   Loss of function & molecular characteristics due to heat, hydrolysis, UV light.  
🗑
Inhibits thrombin and certain enzymes (trypsin and pepsin)   Alpha-2 macroglobulin  
🗑
A collection of several proteins that participate in the immune response, also participate in the inflammatory response   Complement  
🗑
(acute phase reactant) associated with inflammatory conditions, phagocytosis   C-reactive protein (CRP)  
🗑
A decreased level of protein below the normal patient reference range.   Hypoproteinemia  
🗑
Define nitrogen balance.   anabolism equals catabolism  
🗑
Separates proteins on the basis of the isoelectric potential (pI).   Principle of isoelectric focusing (IEF)  
🗑
Separates proteins on the basis of their electrical charges   Electrophoresis  
🗑
Transports iron and prevents loss of iron through the kidneys   Transferrin  
🗑
Define isoelectric point (pI).   When the AA or protein has no charge.  
🗑
Transport cholesterol, triglycerides, and phospholipids in the blood   Lipoproteins  
🗑
Component of the human leukocyte antigens (HLA) (Major histocompatibility complex that deals with immunity)   Beta-2 microglobulin  
🗑
Serves as a transport mechanism for the thyroid hormones, also an indicator of malnutrition   Prealbumin  
🗑
Are made up of a couple of structures - an apoprotein and a prosthetic group (carbohydrate, lipid, porphyrin, metals, etc.)   Conjugated proteins  
🗑
