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 |

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 |
