proteins.notebook September 16, 2016 Elements Made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sometimes sulfur. Come in a variety of shapes and sizes Monomer Amino acids are the monomer 20 common amino acids that combine to produce thousands of proteins. Held together by peptide bonds each amino acid has a carboxyl group, amine group, hydrogen and an Rgroup. 1 proteins.notebook September 16, 2016 Functions Build structures in the body such as hair, finger nails, horns and hoofs are all proteins. contraction of muscle tissues transporting oxygen in the bloodstream providing immunity regulating other proteins carrying out chemical reactions (enzymes) 2 proteins.notebook September 16, 2016 Foods High in Proteins • • • • • • Meat including chicken and fish Beans Eggs Peanut Butter Nuts Dairy products like milk, cheese and some yogurt Foods high in protein are more filling because it takes the body longer to break them down compared to carbohydrates and lipids. 3 proteins.notebook September 16, 2016 The specific sequence of amino acids determine a proteins structure and function. Example: The protein hemoglobin transports oxygen in our blood. It is made of 574 amino acids. If just one of these amino acids is incorrect, it causes the disorder sickle cell anemia. The red blood cell has sickle shape which gets stuck in small blood vessels easier and cannot bring enough oxygen to the tissues that need it. 4 proteins.notebook September 16, 2016 Nucleic Acids Elements Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and phosphorus Monomer made of nucleotides each nucleotide has 3 parts sugar phosphate group nitrogen base Function DNA and RNA work together to build proteins DNA contains the instructions for putting the amino acids together and RNA helps to build the proteins.
